Nepal VAT calculator
Add 13% VAT to a price or extract VAT from an inclusive total
Use the calculator to estimate VAT in Nepalese rupees. Choose whether the entered amount is before VAT or already includes VAT, and confirm the rate field before calculating.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the base price or VAT-inclusive total in NPR.
- Check the VAT percentage; 13% is preselected but the field can be edited.
- Choose Add VAT to base price or Extract VAT from VAT-inclusive price.
- Review the base amount, VAT amount and final inclusive amount separately.
Formula and worked example
Add VAT: VAT = base price × rate ÷ 100; total = base price + VAT. Extract VAT: base price = inclusive total ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100).
At 13%, NPR 1,000 before VAT produces NPR 130 VAT and NPR 1,130 including VAT. If NPR 1,130 already includes 13% VAT, the pre-VAT amount is NPR 1,000.
Accuracy and important limitations
This is a simple arithmetic estimate. Exemptions, zero-rated supplies, registration status, invoice rules and special tax treatment are not assessed. Confirm the current law and transaction category with the Inland Revenue Department or a qualified tax professional.
Frequently asked questions
What VAT rate is preselected?
The calculator starts with 13%, but the rate field is editable. Confirm the applicable rate and tax treatment with current Inland Revenue Department guidance.
How do I add VAT to a price?
Multiply the pre-VAT amount by the VAT rate to get VAT, then add VAT to the base amount. At 13%, NPR 1,000 becomes NPR 1,130.
How do I remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive amount?
Divide the inclusive amount by 1 plus the VAT rate as a decimal. At 13%, divide by 1.13 to find the pre-VAT base.
Is this an official tax assessment?
No. It is a simple estimate and does not determine tax eligibility, exemptions or the correct treatment of a specific transaction.
