Formulas & Method

Adding GST (Net → Gross)

  • GST Amount: Net Amount × (GST % ÷ 100)

Removing GST (Gross → Net)

  • Net Amount: Gross Amount ÷ (1 + GST % ÷ 100)
  • GST Amount: Gross Amount - Net Amount

Worked Example

For an amount of $100 at an 18% GST rate:

  • Adding GST: $100 Net + $18 GST = $118 Gross
  • Removing GST (from $118 Gross): $118 ÷ 1.18 = $100 Net ($18 Tax)
