Quick answer:GST (Goods and Services Tax) in India is calculated as: GST Amount = (Original Price × GST Rate) / 100. To add GST: Final Price = Original Price + GST Amount. To remove GST from an inclusive price: Original Price = Inclusive Price / (1 + GST Rate/100). For example, ₹10,000 inclusive of 18% GST has a base price of ₹8,474.58 and GST of ₹1,525.42. Current slabs are 5%, 18% and 40% (since 22 September 2025); the old 12% and 28% rates are kept for older invoices.

Make Invoicing Painless

If you run a small business or work as a freelancer in India, dealing with GST (Goods and Services Tax) invoices can be a massive headache. Doing the math in your head to pull 18% tax out of a flat fee usually leads to messy decimals and rounding errors.

This calculator is built to instantly do the heavy lifting for you. Just punch in your numbers, hit a button, and you'll get the exact base price, the total tax amount, and the precise CGST and SGST split you need to write on your bill.

Works Both Ways

Sometimes you have a raw product cost and need to figure out how much to charge your customer after adding tax. Other times, you agree on a flat 'inclusive' price with a client, and you need to reverse-engineer the math to find out what your actual pre-tax revenue is.

Our tool handles both scenarios perfectly. The 'Add GST' function builds your final price, while the 'Remove GST' function acts like a tax extractor, pulling the exact government share out of a final number.

GST calculator in Hindi and a worked example

Take an invoice of ₹50,000 at 18% GST. Adding GST gives ₹9,000 of tax and a total of ₹59,000, split as ₹4,500 CGST and ₹4,500 SGST within a state. If the same ₹59,000 is a GST-inclusive price, Remove GST gives a base of ₹50,000 because 59,000 ÷ 1.18 = 50,000. Always divide by 1 plus the rate rather than subtracting 18% from the total.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is GST?

GST stands for Goods and Services Tax. It's a comprehensive, single tax system used in India that replaced a confusing web of older indirect taxes like VAT, Service Tax, and Excise Duty.

How do I use 'Remove GST'?

Let's say you sell a product for exactly ₹1,000, and that price already includes 18% tax. You can't just subtract 18% from 1,000. You use the 'Remove' button, and it will calculate the exact base price (₹847.46) and the tax portion (₹152.54).

What are CGST and SGST?

When you sell something within your own state, the government splits the tax directly in half. Half goes to the Central Government (CGST) and half goes to your State Government (SGST). If you sell to a different state, it's just one combined tax called IGST.

What are the current GST rates in India?

Since the GST 2.0 reform took effect on 22 September 2025, most goods and services fall under 5% (essentials) or 18% (the standard rate), with a special 40% rate for luxury and sin goods such as tobacco products. The earlier 12% and 28% slabs were removed, and many items moved into 5% or 18%. Some items stay at 0% or exempt. Always check the GST rate notification for your exact HSN or SAC code.

Which rate should I pick for an invoice dated before September 2025?

Supplies made before 22 September 2025 were taxed under the old structure of 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%, so the calculator still lists 12% and 28% for reconciling older invoices and returns.

Can I use this for my official accounting?

Absolutely. The calculator uses standard, precise mathematical formulas to generate these numbers. They are exactly what you need to put on your official tax invoices.

Is my financial data uploaded anywhere?

No. Your privacy is our priority. Every single calculation happens directly inside your own web browser, meaning your numbers never touch our servers.
