Calculate the VAT amount and the VAT-inclusive/exclusive total based on the amount and rate.
Value Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax levied on the value added at each stage from the production of goods and services to their final consumption. In Türkiye the standard VAT rate is 20%, while reduced rates such as 1% and 10% apply to basic foodstuffs and certain services. The final burden falls on the end consumer, while businesses declare the difference between the VAT they collect and the VAT they pay.
VAT is calculated by multiplying the base (the amount on which the tax is computed) by the applicable rate. If a VAT-exclusive amount is known, the VAT is simply amount × rate / 100, and the total is the base plus VAT. To work back from a VAT-inclusive amount, the base = inclusive amount / (1 + rate/100), and the VAT is the difference between the inclusive amount and the base.
This tool treats the amount you enter as a VAT-exclusive base and computes the VAT. To split a VAT-inclusive amount, first derive the base using the formula above.
VAT is governed by Law No. 3065 on Value Added Tax. Because rates and exemptions may be updated by presidential decree, it is important to confirm the current rate for the transaction date. Taxpayers issuing invoices must show VAT as a separate line and declare it periodically.
For a VAT-exclusive service of 1,000 ₺ at 20%: 1,000 × 20 / 100 = 200 ₺. The VAT-inclusive total is 1,200 ₺.
The rate depends on the type of goods or service. The standard rate is 20%, while some foods and services are 1% or 10%. When in doubt, consult your accountant.
Divide the inclusive amount by (1 + rate/100) to find the base, then subtract the base from the inclusive amount. For 20%: 120 / 1.20 = 100 base, 20 VAT.
Yes, VAT-registered businesses deduct input VAT from output VAT and declare the difference.
No; the result is an estimate for information only. Consult your accountant for the definitive declaration.
