Pricing conversations often mix inclusive and exclusive figures, which causes confusion. This calculator shows both the GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive price for the same item at the same time, so you can compare instantly.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the amount you have.
- Tell the calculator whether that amount already includes GST or not.
- Choose the GST rate.
- View both the inclusive and exclusive prices, plus the GST amount, side by side.
How the Calculation Works
From exclusive to inclusive: Inclusive = Exclusive × (1 + Rate/100)
From inclusive to exclusive: Exclusive = Inclusive ÷ (1 + Rate/100)
Worked Example
An exclusive price of ₹5,000 at 12% GST gives an inclusive price of ₹5,600 (GST = ₹600). Conversely, an inclusive price of ₹5,600 at 12% gives an exclusive price of ₹5,000.
Who Should Use This
Helpful for retailers deciding how to display shelf prices, and B2B sellers who quote exclusive prices but need to show the inclusive amount on a final invoice.
Important Considerations
Always clearly label which price — inclusive or exclusive — is shown to the end customer, as consumer protection rules require the final payable price to be transparent.
Common Mistakes
Confusing which direction to calculate in is the main risk: multiplying an already-inclusive price by the GST rate again effectively double-taxes it.
