Free GST Calculator — Add or Remove GST (India CGST/SGST/IGST)

How it works
Enter an amount, pick the GST slab and whether you want to add GST to a base price or remove GST from a GST-inclusive total — this calculator splits the tax into CGST + SGST for intra-state supplies or IGST for inter-state supplies, and shows the exact base, tax and final amount.
## How the math works
GST is a percentage of the base (pre-tax) amount. When you **add** GST: tax = base × rate ÷ 100 and gross = base + tax. When you **remove** GST from a gross total: base = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100) and tax = gross − base. For an **intra-state** supply (seller and buyer in the same state) the total GST is split equally into CGST (central) and SGST (state), each at half the rate. For an **inter-state** supply the full amount is charged as IGST.
## Everyday uses
- **Invoice pricing:** add GST to your base selling price so you issue correct GST-compliant invoices.
- **Purchase reconciliation:** remove GST from a bill total to find the actual pre-tax cost and claim accurate input tax credit.
- **E-commerce checkout check:** verify that a platform's "GST included" price splits correctly into CGST/SGST or IGST.
## Frequently asked questions
### Which GST slab applies to my product or service?
The four standard slabs are 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%, plus a 0% rate for essential items and special rates for gold, jewellery and some goods. The exact slab depends on the HSN/SAC code — check the latest CBIC GST rate schedule for your category.
### What is the difference between CGST, SGST and IGST?
CGST and SGST are levied together on intra-state (same-state) transactions, each at half the total rate. IGST is levied alone on inter-state (different-state) transactions at the full rate. The total tax collected is the same either way; only which government receives it differs.
### Can I use this for composition scheme dealers?
No. Composition dealers pay a flat turnover-based tax (e.g. 1% for traders, 5% for restaurants) and cannot charge GST separately or claim input tax credit. This calculator assumes a normal (regular) GST registration.
