GST Exclusive Calculator FAQ
Q1.Why do B2B quotes usually show prices exclusive of GST?
B2B quotes are often shown as net (exclusive) so both parties see the base value clearly. Tax is then added as a separate line. This keeps margins transparent and makes it clear how much is being paid to the government. An exclusive calculator gives you the exact tax and total for invoicing.
Q2.What is the formula for adding GST to a base price?
GST amount = Base price × (Rate ÷ 100). Total price = Base + GST. For example, $1,000 at 18% gives $180 GST and $1,180 total. Our calculator applies this with proper rounding for compliance.
Q3.When should I use exclusive vs inclusive mode?
Use exclusive when you have a net amount and need to add tax (e.g. quotes, invoices, contracts). Use inclusive when you have a final price and need to split out the tax (e.g. receipts, expense claims). This tool is set for exclusive (add tax) by default.
Q4.Can I use this for international clients?
Yes. Enter the applicable rate for the client's jurisdiction (e.g. 20% UK VAT, 9% Singapore GST). The same logic applies; only the rate changes.
Q5.How do I avoid rounding errors on large invoices?
The calculator uses standard half-round-up rules. For multi-line invoices, calculate each line and then sum. Keeping a consistent rounding method avoids discrepancies with accounting software and tax returns.
Q6.Is the result suitable for tax invoices?
The tool gives you the GST amount and total that you can use on invoices. Ensure your invoice format meets local requirements (e.g. supplier GST number, place of supply) as per your jurisdiction.
