How it's worked out
GST = 1,000.00 × 18 ÷ 100 = 180.00
Total = 1,000.00 + 180.00 = 1,180.00
GST formulas
To add GST: GST = price × rate ÷ 100. Then total = price + GST.
To remove GST: GST = inclusive price × rate ÷ (100 + rate). Then price before GST = inclusive price − GST.
Worked examples
- A service costs ₹2,500 before GST at 18%. GST is 2,500 × 18 ÷ 100 = ₹450, so you bill ₹2,950. Within the same state that's ₹225 CGST and ₹225 SGST.
- A product sells for ₹1,050 including 5% GST. GST is 1,050 × 5 ÷ 105 = ₹50, so the price before GST is ₹1,000.
- You quote ₹10,000 plus 18% GST to a client in another state. You charge ₹1,800 IGST, for a total of ₹11,800.
CGST, SGST and IGST
When you sell within your own state, GST is split equally: half is CGST, which goes to the central government, and half is SGST, which goes to the state. Union territories without a legislature use UTGST instead of SGST. When you sell to another state, the whole amount is IGST. The customer pays the same total either way.

Questions
- How do I calculate GST on a price?
- Multiply the price by the GST rate and divide by 100, then add it on. For ₹1,000 at 18%: 1,000 × 18 ÷ 100 = ₹180 GST, so the total is ₹1,180.
- How do I remove GST from a price that already includes it?
- Divide the inclusive price by 1 plus the rate as a decimal. For ₹1,180 including 18% GST: 1,180 ÷ 1.18 = ₹1,000 before GST, so the GST was ₹180.
- Why can't I just subtract 18% from the total?
- Because the 18% was charged on the price before GST, not on the total. 18% of ₹1,180 is ₹212.40, and subtracting it leaves ₹967.60, which is wrong. The correct base price is ₹1,000.
- Is CGST + SGST more than IGST?
- No, the total is the same. Within a state the GST is split in half between the central and state governments (CGST + SGST). Between states it's charged as one IGST amount at the full rate.
- What are the GST rates now?
- Since the rate changes of September 2025, most goods and services are taxed at 5% or 18%, with 40% for a short list of luxury and sin goods and 3% for gold and silver. Check the rate for your exact HSN or SAC code before you invoice.
- Can I use this for VAT or sales tax?
- Yes. The maths is the same for any percentage tax. Choose Other and enter your rate, then ignore the CGST and SGST split.
