How do I add VAT to a price?

Multiply the price by the rate as a decimal, then add the result. At 20%, a price of 100 has 20 of VAT, making 120.

How do I remove VAT from a price?

Divide the price by 1 plus the rate as a decimal. At 20%, a price of 120 divided by 1.2 is 100 before VAT, and the VAT is 20. Taking 20% off 120 gives the wrong answer.

What about US sales tax?

The US has no national sales tax. States and local areas set their own rates, so enter the combined rate for your location and leave the tax name as Sales tax.
