Understanding GST Calculation


The GST Calculator helps businesses and individuals calculate Goods and Services Tax quickly and accurately. GST is an indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in India, replacing multiple earlier taxes.

Forward GST calculation adds tax to the base price: GST Amount = Base Price × GST Rate. If a product costs ₹1,000 and GST is 18%, the GST amount is ₹180, making the total ₹1,180.

Reverse GST calculation extracts tax from an inclusive price: Base Price = Inclusive Price / (1 + GST Rate). If the inclusive price is ₹1,180 at 18% GST, the base price is ₹1,000 and GST is ₹180.

For intrastate transactions (within the same state), GST is split equally between CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST). For interstate transactions, the entire amount is collected as IGST (Integrated GST).

Understanding GST calculations is essential for proper invoicing, filing returns, and claiming input tax credit. Our calculator provides accurate breakdowns for all common GST rates: 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is forward GST calculation?
Forward calculation adds GST to the base price to get the final inclusive price. Use this when you know the pre-tax price and need to calculate the total amount.
What is reverse GST calculation?
Reverse calculation extracts GST from a price that already includes tax. Use this to find the base price and GST amount from an inclusive price.
What is the difference between CGST, SGST, and IGST?
CGST and SGST apply to intrastate sales (within same state), split equally. IGST applies to interstate sales and equals the full GST rate.
Which GST rate applies to my product?
GST rates (0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, 28%) depend on the product or service category. Essentials have lower rates, while luxury items have higher rates. Check the GST rate schedule for specifics.
How do I calculate GST for multiple items?
Calculate GST for each item separately based on its applicable rate, then sum up for the total. Different items may have different GST rates.
