VAT Calculator Philippines 2026: Add or Remove 12% VAT
The Philippine Value Added Tax (VAT) is set at 12% and applies to most goods and services in the country. Whether you are a business owner issuing official receipts, a shopper trying to figure out what you actually paid in taxes, or a freelancer computing your invoices, this VAT Calculator handles both directions in seconds. Add VAT mode takes your net (pre-tax) price and computes the 12% tax on top of it. Extract VAT mode works backward from a VAT-inclusive total and separates out the tax and the base price. Both are common needs in everyday Philippine commerce.
