How to calculate VAT in South Africa
South Africa's standard VAT rate is 15%, set by SARS (South African Revenue Service). Most goods and services are subject to VAT, with some zero-rated exceptions like basic foodstuffs and exports.
To add VAT to an amount (price excluding VAT):
VAT Amount = Price × 0.15 | Total = Price × 1.15
To remove VAT from an amount (price including VAT):
Original Price = Total ÷ 1.15 | VAT Amount = Total − Original Price
This calculator handles both directions instantly. Simply enter your amount and toggle between "Add VAT" and "Remove VAT".
