How to use the GST calculator

Enter your amount, choose the GST rate (5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%), and pick whether the amount is exclusive of GST (you want to add GST) or inclusive (you want to remove GST). The calculator instantly shows the base amount, the GST, and the total, and splits the tax into CGST and SGST for a within-state sale or shows IGST for an inter-state sale.

Forward GST vs reverse GST

Forward (add GST): you have the base price and want the final price. Reverse (remove GST): you have the final, GST-inclusive price and want the base price plus the tax hidden inside it. Reverse GST is where most people slip up, because you cannot simply subtract the percentage. The formula is base = amount / (1 + rate/100), and GST = amount - base. This tool does that back-calculation for you.

GST rates in India, at a glance

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate reverse GST?
Divide the GST-inclusive amount by (1 + rate/100) to get the base amount, then subtract the base from the total to get the GST. At 18%, a total of 118 gives a base of 100 and GST of 18. This calculator does it automatically when you choose the inclusive option.
What is the difference between CGST, SGST, and IGST?
For a sale within the same state, GST is split equally into CGST (central) and SGST (state). For a sale between two states, the full rate is charged once as IGST (integrated). The total tax is the same either way.
Which GST rate applies to software and SaaS?
Software and SaaS in India are generally taxed at 18% under GST.
Is this GST calculator free?
Yes. It is completely free, needs no account, and runs in your browser with no data uploaded.
Can it handle both GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive amounts?
Yes. Choose add GST for an exclusive base price, or remove GST for a final inclusive price, and the tool computes the rest.
