VAT Calculator Ireland

Multiply the VAT-exclusive amount by 1 plus the rate. At the 23% standard rate that means multiplying by 1.23 — so €100.00 plus VAT is €123.00. Choose "Add VAT" above, enter the amount excluding VAT, and the calculator shows the VAT and the total.

Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1 plus the rate. At 23% that means dividing by 1.23 — so €12.00 including VAT is €9.76 excluding VAT, with €2.24 of VAT. Choose "Remove VAT" above and enter the amount including VAT.

Ireland has a 23% standard rate, a 13.5% reduced rate, a 9% second reduced rate, a 4.8% livestock rate and a 0% zero rate. Which rate applies to a particular good or service is a separate question and it changes with each Finance Act — Revenue publishes a searchable rate database, which this calculator links to rather than reproducing.

The VAT fraction is the proportion of a VAT-inclusive price that is VAT. At 23% it is 23/123, so multiplying a gross amount by 23/123 gives the VAT directly. The calculator shows the fraction for whichever rate you select.

Because the exact figure has more than two decimal places. Removing 23% VAT from €12.00 gives €9.7560975…, which is shown as €9.76. The calculator always makes the net, VAT and gross figures add up exactly, so it rounds one value and derives the other by subtraction, and tells you when that happened.

Use this one to add or remove VAT from an amount. Use the VAT3 calculator if you are preparing a VAT3 return for ROS — it handles T1 to T4 and E1/E2 figures, reverse charge and intra-Community trade, and works in whole euro because that is how returns are filed.

No. It applies a single VAT rate to a single amount. Reverse charge, intra-Community acquisitions and postponed accounting affect how VAT is reported rather than how it is calculated on a price — the VAT3 calculator covers those.

Yes. It accepts amounts to two decimal places and calculates in cents, so small figures work correctly — €0.16 including VAT at 23% is €0.13 excluding VAT, with €0.03 of VAT.
