Figures are estimates for planning only, not investment or tax advice.

Enter an amount, pick a rate, and this calculator either adds GST to it or strips GST out of it — with the CGST and SGST halves shown separately.

Adding versus removing

To add GST: GST = amount × rate ÷ 100. To remove it from a GST-inclusive price: base = amount × 100 ÷ (100 + rate). The second one is where mistakes happen — 18% of an inclusive ₹11,800 is not ₹2,124 but ₹1,800.

The CGST/SGST split

Within a state, GST splits equally into Central GST and State GST — 18% becomes 9% + 9%. Across states, the same total is charged as a single IGST. The total the customer pays is identical either way.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to register for GST?

Generally above ₹40 lakh of turnover for goods and ₹20 lakh for services, with lower thresholds in special category states.


What is input tax credit?

GST you paid on business purchases can be set off against GST you collect, so you remit only the difference.
