GST Inclusive vs. GST Exclusive
Understanding how tax components apply to pricing is essential for billing and bookkeeping:
- GST Exclusive (Add GST): The base price of the item does not include tax. To find the total price, you add the GST amount to the base price.
- GST Inclusive (Remove GST): The total retail price of the item already includes tax. To find the base price, you subtract the GST component from the total price.
The Mathematics Behind GST Calculations
Our calculator applies the following standard formulas depending on the tax type selected:
1. Formula for GST Exclusive (Add GST)
To calculate the GST amount and total price:
\(GST\ Amount = Base\ Price \times \left(\frac{GST\ Percentage}{100}\right)\)
\(Total\ Price = Base\ Price + GST\ Amount\)
2. Formula for GST Inclusive (Remove GST)
To extract the base price and tax amount from a total price:
\(Base\ Price = \frac{Total\ Price}{1 + \left(\frac{GST\ Percentage}{100}\right)}\)
\(GST\ Amount = Total\ Price - Base\ Price\)
