How it works
Markup starts from the cost base and answers how much should be added. The tool then shows the resulting sale price and the implied margin so teams can keep both pricing languages aligned.
Example use case
A services business can take the loaded delivery cost of a project, apply the target markup and confirm the resulting customer-facing price before VAT.
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.

- No. Reduced rates depend on the product or service category and should be confirmed before invoicing.
