GST calculator for inclusive and exclusive GST

Enter an amount and a GST rate to add GST to a price (exclusive) or take GST out of a price (inclusive, also called back calculation). For a sale within your state the tax splits into CGST and SGST; for a sale to another state it is IGST. The rate list follows the GST rate notifications in force in 2026.

Intra-state supplies split into CGST and SGST; inter-state supplies carry a single IGST at the same total rate. Your rate depends on the classification of what you sell, look it up in the HSN / SAC finder. Indicative only, confirm with an Expert before you file.

The rate list has the GST rates in force in 2026: 0%, 0.25%, 1.5%, 3%, 5%, 18% and 40%. Check the rate for your goods or service in its rate notification.

The method

How GST is calculated.

The formulas behind the numbers

Add GST (exclusive)
GST = Amount × Rate ÷ 100. Total = Amount + GST
Remove GST (inclusive, back calculation)
GST = Price × Rate ÷ (100 + Rate). Value = Price minus GST
Within your state
CGST = SGST = GST ÷ 2
To another state
IGST = GST

FAQs

GST calculator questions

What’s 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 inter-state sales, a single IGST is charged at the full rate instead. Switch “Place of supply” to see either split, the total tax is identical.

Which GST rate should I use?

Use the rate your goods or service carries in the GST rate notifications. Since 22 September 2025 the goods rates are 0%, 0.25%, 1.5%, 3%, 5%, 18% and 40%, and the 28% rate was removed from 1 February 2026. Services have their own rate notification. To find your goods or service code, use our HSN code finder.

Is MRP inclusive of GST?

Yes. Under the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, the retail sale price printed on a package is the maximum price “inclusive of all taxes”. To find the GST in an MRP, use the inclusive formula.

Does the calculator add compensation cess?

No. Compensation cess on pan masala and tobacco products is nil from 1 February 2026, and, as we read the GST Council’s FAQ, other goods stopped carrying it from 22 September 2025.

How do discounts affect GST?

A discount shown on the face of the invoice reduces the taxable value, so tax is charged on the net amount. Post-sale discounts only reduce it if they were agreed before the supply and are linked to the invoice. Enter yours as a percentage, or switch to flat rupees in advanced options.

What is reverse charge (RCM)?

On certain supplies, including goods transport, legal services and purchases from unregistered dealers, the recipient pays the GST instead of the supplier. Turn on RCM and the invoice bills the taxable value only, with the tax shown separately as the recipient’s liability.

Why does my invoice total get rounded?

Section 170 of the CGST Act rounds the tax and the total to the nearest rupee. The calculator shows the round-off as its own line so your invoice ties out exactly. Turn it off in advanced options if you need the paise.

What are GST TDS and TCS?

Government departments and PSUs deduct 2% TDS under section 51 on contracts above ₹2.5 lakh. E-commerce operators collect 0.5% TCS under section 52 on your net taxable sales. Notification 15/2024-Central Tax halved it from 1% with effect from 10 July 2024. Both are computed on the taxable value, not on the tax, and both land in your electronic cash ledger to offset later liability.

Do I need a GSTIN to charge GST?

Yes. You must be registered and have a GSTIN to legally collect GST. If your turnover crosses the threshold, talk to us about GST registration.

What does inclusive of GST mean?

The price already contains the GST. To find the GST inside it: GST = price × rate ÷ (100 + rate). At 18%, ₹1,180 inclusive of GST is ₹1,000 plus ₹180 GST.

What does exclusive of GST mean?

GST is added on top of the price. At 18%, ₹1,000 exclusive of GST becomes ₹1,180.

How do I do a GST back calculation?

Divide the price by (100 + rate) and multiply by the rate. For ₹11,800 at 18%: 11,800 × 18 ÷ 118 = ₹1,800 GST, so the value is ₹10,000.

What is the GST formula in Excel?

With the amount in cell A2 and 18% GST: GST to add =A2*18/100, total =A2*1.18. GST inside an inclusive price: =A2*18/118, value before GST =A2/1.18. Change 18 to your rate.

How is IGST calculated?

IGST applies to a sale from one state to another, at the full GST rate. ₹10,000 at 18% to another state carries ₹1,800 IGST. Within a state, the same ₹1,800 splits into ₹900 CGST and ₹900 SGST.

Why is there no 12% or 28% option?

No goods schedule carries 12% since 22 September 2025, and the 28% schedule was removed from 1 February 2026. Older invoices may still show these rates.

GST nikalne ka formula kya hai?

GST upar se jodna ho to: GST = amount × rate ÷ 100. Price mein GST shamil ho to: GST = price × rate ÷ (100 + rate). Jaise ₹1,180 mein 18% GST: 1,180 × 18 ÷ 118 = ₹180.

18% GST kaise nikale?

₹1,000 par 18% GST = ₹180, total ₹1,180. Agar ₹1,180 mein GST shamil hai, to GST = 1,180 × 18 ÷ 118 = ₹180.
