The calculation of GST involves applying the appropriate tax rates to the taxable value of the goods or services being supplied. There are two ways to calculate GST amount using the tool

The GST exclusive amount means the original amount before the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applied.

• GST Amount = (Tax Rate/100) x Amount Excluding GST
• Total Amount (including GST) = Amount Excluding GST + GST Amount

Example

Let's say you have a product with a price of ₹1,000, and the applicable GST rate is 18%.

• GST Amount = (18/100) x ₹1,000 = ₹180
• Total Amount (including GST) = ₹1,000 + ₹180 = ₹1,180

The GST inclusive amount is the total amount, which includes both the original amount and the GST component

• GST Amount = Amount Including GST - (Amount Including GST / (1 + (Tax Rate/100)))
• Amount Excluding GST = Amount Including GST - GST Amount

Example

Let's consider the same product with a price of ₹1,180, which already includes the GST amount of ₹180. The applicable GST rate is 18%.

• GST Amount = ₹1,180 - (₹1,180 / (1 + (18/100))) = ₹180
• Amount Excluding GST = ₹1,180 - ₹180 = ₹1,000

In both cases, the "Tax Rate" represents the applicable GST rate, expressed as a percentage.

Here's a quick guide on using HostBooks' GST calculator tool:

Step 1

Determine whether you want to calculate GST on an inclusive or exclusive basis, depending on your requirement.

This distinction refers to whether the GST amount is already included in the original amount or needs to be added separately.

Step 2

Enter the original amount in the designated field. This is the amount before GST is applied.

Step 3

Select the appropriate GST rate from the drop-down menu provided by the tool. This should reflect the applicable tax rate for the goods or services you are calculating GST for.

Step 4

Click on the "Calculate" button to obtain the results.

The Goods and Service tax Calculator tool will display the total GST amount and provide the option to view the pre-GST and post-GST amounts, based on your initial selection.
