Bulk VAT calculator

The bulk VAT calculator works out VAT on many amounts in one go. Paste a list of figures, pick the rate, and choose add VAT or remove VAT. You get the net, VAT and gross for each line, plus a total at the bottom.

[ Bulk tool sits here: a box to paste a list of amounts, rate choice, Add VAT / Remove VAT, output is a table of Net, VAT and Gross per line with totals. ] (tool embeds here)

Who this helps

Working out VAT one figure at a time is slow when you have a long list. This tool suits:

  • Bookkeepers splitting VAT across many receipts
  • Shop owners pricing a batch of products
  • Anyone checking a column of invoice totals

How to use it

  1. Paste your amounts, one per line.
  2. Pick the rate: 20%, 5% or 0%.
  3. Choose add VAT if the amounts are net, or remove VAT if they already include VAT.
  4. Copy the table of results into your spreadsheet or records.

How the maths works

Each line uses the same method as a single calculation.

  • Add VAT: amount times 1.2 at 20%, or times 1.05 at 5%.
  • Remove VAT: amount divided by 1.2 at 20%, or divided by 1.05 at 5%.

The totals row adds up the net, VAT and gross columns.
