GST Calculator

Add or remove GST at any slab with CGST, SGST and IGST split for intra- and inter-state supply.

Inputs

Formula

  • Adding GST: Tax = Amount × rate / 100 ; Total = Amount + Tax
  • Removing GST: Base = Amount × 100 / (100 + rate) ; Tax = Amount − Base
  • Intra-state: CGST = SGST = Tax / 2
  • Inter-state: IGST = Tax

GST is a destination-based value-added tax. For supply within a state the levy splits equally between the Centre (CGST) and the State (SGST); across states a single IGST at the same total rate applies and is later apportioned. Removing GST from an inclusive price requires the reverse-charge form Base = Price × 100/(100 + rate) — dividing by the rate directly is a common and costly mistake.

Step-by-step calculation

  1. Taxable value

    entered amount

    ₹10,000.00

  2. GST

    10,000.00 × 18%

    ₹1,800.00

  3. Invoice total

    base + GST

    ₹11,800.00

Assumptions

  • Rate applies to the whole taxable value; no composite or mixed supply split.
  • Cess on demerit goods (28% slab) is not included.
  • Input tax credit is not netted off.

Tips

  • Invoices must show CGST and SGST as separate lines for intra-state supply.
  • Check the HSN/SAC code before assuming a slab — many goods sit at 5% or 12%.

Warnings

  • Compensation cess applies over and above 28% on tobacco, aerated drinks and some vehicles.
  • Wrong place-of-supply classification (IGST vs CGST+SGST) triggers interest and re-payment.
