GST Calculator

Add or remove GST at any slab rate — with CGST/SGST split shown automatically.

How to use the GST Calculator

  1. Enter the Amount.
  2. Choose the GST Rate — 5%, 12%, 18%, 28%, 3% or 0.25%.
  3. Choose whether the amount is Exclusive (GST to be added on top) or Inclusive (GST already included).
  4. Press Calculate GST — base, GST and the CGST/SGST split appear instantly.

Adding vs removing GST

Exclusive (add GST): you have the pre-tax price. GST = amount × rate ÷ 100. A ₹5,000 product at 18% becomes ₹5,900.

Inclusive (remove GST): you have the MRP-style final bill and want the GST inside it. Base = amount ÷ (1 + rate/100). From a ₹5,900 inclusive bill at 18%, the base is ₹5,000 and GST is ₹900 — exactly what appears on a proper tax invoice.

CGST, SGST and IGST — who gets what

On sales within a state, GST splits equally into CGST (centre) and SGST (state) — which is why the calculator shows both at half the slab rate.

On sales between states, the full amount is charged as IGST. The total tax is the same either way; only the split differs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove 18% GST from a total?
Divide the total by 1.18. Example: ₹1,180 ÷ 1.18 = ₹1,000 base, GST = ₹180. The calculator's “Inclusive” mode does this for any slab.
What are the current GST slabs?
The main slabs are 0.25%, 3%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%, plus exempt items at 0%. The GST Council revises items periodically, so check the latest notification for your category.
Why does my bill show CGST and SGST separately?
Intra-state supplies must split GST into CGST (central share) and SGST (state share), each at half the rate. Inter-state supplies show IGST at the full rate instead.
