Amount and rate
Intra-state split. IGST, cess and reverse charge are not modelled.
GST slabs
Pick a slab (5, 12, 18, or 28), an amount between ₹100 and ₹10 lakh, then Add GST (amount is exclusive) or Remove GST (amount already includes tax). The page always splits tax 50/50 into CGST and SGST. There is no IGST switch and no cess field.
The two directions
Add: tax = amount × rate/100, total = amount + tax. Remove: net = amount / (1 + rate/100), tax = amount − net. Subtracting 18% from an inclusive total is the common error this page avoids.
18% on ₹10,000 exclusive
₹1,800
₹11,800
₹900 each
What invoices still need you to decide
- Whether the supply is intra-state (CGST+SGST) or inter-state (IGST). This UI always shows the split even if your real invoice should show IGST.
- Nil, 0.25, 3%, or cess on tobacco / large cars — not offered.
- Reverse charge, composition, and HSN classification.

GST arithmetic questions
How do I remove GST from an inclusive amount?
Divide the total by one plus the rate as a decimal. For 18 percent GST, divide the total by 1.18. Do not subtract 18 percent from the total, which is the common mistake and gives the wrong answer.
How do I add GST to an amount?
Multiply the base amount by the rate and add it on. At 18 percent, a base of 10,000 attracts 1,800 in GST for a total of 11,800.
What are CGST and SGST?
For a supply within a single state, GST is split equally between CGST, collected by the central government, and SGST, collected by the state. Each takes half the total tax. For a supply between states, a single IGST is charged instead.
Which GST rate applies to my product?
Rate classification depends on the GST schedules for your specific goods or service. This calculator applies whichever of the four main slabs you select; it cannot determine the correct slab for you.
Does this calculator handle IGST or cess?
No. The split shown assumes an intra-state supply, so IGST is not modelled, and compensation cess on items such as tobacco or large vehicles is not included.
Can I enter a custom GST rate?
No. Only the four main slabs of 5, 12, 18 and 28 percent are available on this page.
