Add or back-calculate GST and sales tax on any invoice — preset for Pakistan's 17% FBR rate plus UAE 5% VAT, UK 20%, and India 18%, with inclusive or exclusive amounts.
A GST or Sales Tax Calculator helps you add tax to a net amount (forward calculation) or extract tax from a gross amount (reverse calculation). This is essential for businesses preparing invoices, consumers verifying receipts, and accountants reconciling records. In Pakistan, the standard GST rate is 17%, but some goods and services carry different rates.
Formula
Add GST: Gross = Net × (1 + rate%). Remove GST: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate%)GST shows up in every Pakistani business transaction that crosses PKR 5 million in annual turnover (the FBR registration threshold), and almost every B2B invoice — whether you're issuing it or receiving it. The standard 17 percent federal rate looks simple until you actually try to file a return: provincial services have their own separate sales tax (Punjab 16, Sindh 13, KPK 15, Balochistan 15), some goods are zero-rated, some are exempt, certain export sectors get refunds, and the difference between an SRO that reduces a category to 5 percent and one that exempts it entirely matters enormously to your output tax filing. For everyday users — verifying a restaurant receipt, checking a Daraz invoice, calculating what to charge on a freelance invoice to a Karachi client — the math is straightforward: net × 1.17 = gross (to add GST), or gross ÷ 1.17 = net (to back-calculate). The trap most non-business users fall into is assuming the displayed price on retail goods already includes GST (which it usually does in stores, but not always on quotations from suppliers). Honest take: if you're a registered Pakistani business doing B2B work, get a half-day session with a tax practitioner before your first return. The IRIS portal looks straightforward; the consequences of misclassifying a transaction are not.

Adding GST multiplies the pre-tax amount by 1 plus the rate. Removing GST divides the tax-inclusive amount by the same factor to recover the net value — the tax portion is then the difference between gross and net.

Pakistan federal GST is 17%; provincial sales tax on services ranges from 13% (Sindh) to 16% (Punjab).
A 10,000 PKR restaurant bill in Punjab includes 1,600 PKR sales tax on service (16%) — check your receipt.
UAE VAT is just 5% — the lowest in the world on a standardized rate.
EU VAT ranges from 17% (Luxembourg) to 27% (Hungary).
Net PKR 1,000 + 17% GST = GST PKR 170, Gross PKR 1,170.
Invoice shows PKR 5,850 inclusive of 17% GST → Net PKR 5,000, GST PKR 850.
Restaurant bill PKR 2,000 + 15% Punjab sales tax on services = PKR 300 tax.
Mobile phone imported at net value $500 + 17% sales tax = $585 landed cost.
