At 20% VAT/GST, 120.00 entered as net price gives net 120.00, tax 24.00, and gross 144.00.
Formula applied
The exact method behind this answer
CalculationTime keeps the method visible so the number can be checked instead of blindly trusted.
Add GST: GST = amount x 10%, total = amount x 1.10. Remove GST: GST = amount - amount / 1.10, exclusive amount = amount / 1.10.
Multiplier1 + 20% / 100 = 1.2
Gross price120.00 x 1.2 = 144.00
Tax amount144.00 - 120.00 = 24.00

Assumptions used
What this answer assumes
The visible assumptions define the boundary of this calculation.
The entered rate is the applicable VAT, GST or sales-tax-style percentage.
The entered price is treated as net before tax.
Currency symbols, exemptions, reverse charge, imports and multi-rate baskets are outside this arithmetic check.

Formula
Add GST: GST = amount x 10%, total = amount x 1.10. Remove GST: GST = amount - amount / 1.10, exclusive amount = amount / 1.10.
Worked example
Adding GST to $100 gives $10 GST and a $110 total. Removing GST from $110 gives $10 GST and $100 before GST.

Regional and unit assumptions
Basis: Australian GST at 10%. Some supplies are GST-free or input taxed, so confirm treatment with ATO guidance or an adviser.
GST proof
Add or extract 10 percent GST
GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive prices use different arithmetic. The page states whether it is adding GST to a net amount or extracting the GST component from an inclusive amount.

Methodology & Accuracy
How this calculator is checked
CalculationTime pages are built around visible arithmetic: the formula, assumptions, worked example and practical limitations are shown so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.
Formula used
Add GST: GST = amount x 10%, total = amount x 1.10. Remove GST: GST = amount - amount / 1.10, exclusive amount = amount / 1.10.
Standard or basis
Basis: Australian GST at 10%. Some supplies are GST-free or input taxed, so confirm treatment with ATO guidance or an adviser.
Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.
