How it works
Margin answers a different pricing question than markup. This page keeps both values visible so commercial teams can reason about profitability and quoting discipline at the same time.
Example use case
Before sending a quote, a business can test whether the target sale price preserves an acceptable margin once the cost base is locked in.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions people most often ask before relying on the page.
- What VAT rate should I use?
- Use the country page as your starting point, then choose the standard or reduced rate that matches the product or service.
- What is the difference between the VAT and reverse VAT calculators?
- The VAT calculator adds tax to a net amount, while the reverse calculator extracts the net base and VAT from a gross total.
- Does the invoice total calculator include discounts and shipping?
- Yes. It lets you combine discounts, shipping and VAT into one final customer-facing total.
- Can I rely on reduced rates automatically?
- No. Reduced rates depend on the product or service category and should be confirmed before invoicing.
