1. 01Choose a modeAdd VAT starts from a net (pre-tax) price. Remove VAT starts from a gross (tax-inclusive) price. VAT amount shows the tax on a net price.
2. 02Enter the amountType the amount. The rate is set to the 12% standard rate; change it only for a reduced or special rate.
3. 03Read net, VAT, and grossThe tool shows all three figures at once, so you can copy the net, the tax, or the gross price you need.

• Sales invoicesAdd 12% VAT to a net amount to show the total a customer pays, or work back to the net from a gross figure.
• Official receiptsSplit a gross receipt into net (VATable) and VAT for your records.
• Small business pricingSet a net price and see the VAT-inclusive figure to quote or display.

• Add 12% VATA net price of ₱1,000 becomes ₱1,120, with ₱120 of VAT.
• Remove VATA gross price of ₱1,120 contains ₱1,120 ÷ 1.12 = ₱1,000 net, so the VAT is ₱120.
• VAT amount onlyOn a net price of ₱500, the VAT is ₱60.

VAT here is 12% of the price. To add VAT, multiply the net price by 1.12 (that is, 1 plus the 12% rate); the difference is the tax. To take VAT out of a VAT-inclusive price, divide by 1.12 to get the net, then subtract to find the tax. The VAT amount mode shows 12% of the net price. Net, tax, and gross update together.

The Philippines applies a 12% VAT, with 0% zero-rated sales (such as certain exports) and a list of VAT-exempt transactions. The standard rate of 12% is set by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and is current as of July 2026 (bir.gov.ph). Tooleem is not affiliated with the BIR. Rates and rules can change, so check the official source before you rely on a figure.

The calculator has three modes: Add VAT (from a net price), Remove VAT (from a gross, tax-inclusive price), and VAT amount (the tax on a net price). It applies one rate at a time and defaults to the 12% standard rate. The Philippines applies a 12% VAT, with 0% zero-rated sales (such as certain exports) and a list of VAT-exempt transactions. Those other rates are not applied automatically, but you can type any rate manually.

This is an educational estimate for quick pricing, quotes, and invoice checks. It is not tax, accounting, or legal advice, and Tooleem is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the BIR or any government body. It applies a single rate and does not handle the detail of zero-rated and VAT-exempt transactions, registration thresholds, or special schemes. For registration, filing, or a business decision, use the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) or a qualified tax professional.
