Tax FAQ

What is the difference between Net and Gross?
Net Price is the base amount before any tax is applied. Gross Price is the final total including tax. Our calculator lets you edit either one — the other updates automatically.
How does reverse tax calculation work?
When you edit the Gross Price field, the calculator uses the formula: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate). This ensures perfect mathematical accuracy when working backwards from a total price.
Do I need to choose a calculation mode?
No! Unlike traditional calculators, you don't need to switch between "Add Tax" and "Remove Tax" modes. Simply edit whichever field you know (Net or Gross), and the calculator figures out the rest automatically.
Is my financial data secure?
Absolutely. All calculations happen directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your prices, rates, and totals never leave your device — there's no server, no database, no tracking.
