How to Use the Saudi VAT Calculator
The standard Value Added Tax (VAT) rate in Saudi Arabia is 15%. This free calculator simplifies your accounting and shopping by instantly performing the exact math needed to figure out your tax obligations.
Adding VAT to a Price
If you have a product or service price that does not include tax yet, simply enter the amount and select Add 15% VAT. The calculator will multiply your amount by 1.15 to give you the final price to charge your customer, alongside the exact tax amount.
Extracting VAT from a Total
If you paid for a service and the receipt only shows the grand total, select Extract 15% VAT. The tool will reverse-calculate the math (dividing the total by 1.15) to show you exactly how much the item cost before tax, and how much tax was paid.
