About the GST Calculator
A GST calculator adds Goods and Services Tax to a price or takes it out of an inclusive price. Since 22 September 2025 the main GST slabs are 5% and 18%, with 40% for luxury and sin goods. 18% GST on ₹1,000 is ₹180, so the price becomes ₹1,180.
How it is calculated
GST = price × rate ÷ 100; price before GST = inclusive price ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100)
- Adding GST: total = price + price × rate.
- Removing GST from an inclusive price: base = total ÷ (1 + rate), GST = total − base.
- Within a state, GST is split equally into CGST and SGST. Between states, it is charged as IGST.
Worked example
Inputs: ₹1,000 before GST at 18%.
Result: GST ₹180 (₹90 CGST + ₹90 SGST), total ₹1,180.
Rules and assumptions
- GST slabs since 22 September 2025: 0% (nil-rated), 5%, 18%, and 40% for luxury and sin goods. Gold and jewellery are taxed at 3%.
- The rate depends on the HSN or SAC code of the item. Check the CBIC rate schedule for a specific product.
Frequently asked questions
What are the GST slabs now?
Since 22 September 2025: 0%, 5%, 18% and 40%, plus special rates such as 3% for gold. The old 12% and 28% slabs were folded into these.
How do I remove GST from a price?
Divide the inclusive price by (1 + rate). For 18%, ₹1,180 ÷ 1.18 = ₹1,000, so GST is ₹180.
What is CGST and SGST?
For sales within a state, GST is split equally between the central (CGST) and state (SGST) governments. Inter-state sales carry IGST instead.
