GST Amount = Price × Rate / 100. Final Price = Price + GST Amount. For ₹1,000 at 18%: GST = ₹180, Final = ₹1,180. This is called exclusive pricing — the listed price does not include tax and the GST is added on top.
Pre-tax Price = Inclusive Price / (1 + Rate/100). For ₹1,180 at 18%: ₹1,180 / 1.18 = ₹1,000. GST Amount = ₹1,180 − ₹1,000 = ₹180. This reverse calculation is used when the price shown already includes GST and you need to find the base price.
India has four standard GST rates: 5% for essential goods (sugar, tea, medicines), 12% for standard goods (frozen food, butter), 18% for electronics, restaurants and most services, and 28% for luxury goods, tobacco and aerated drinks. Some items are exempt (0%): basic unprocessed food, educational services and exports.
On intrastate (within same state) transactions, GST is split equally: half goes to the central government as CGST and half to the state government as SGST. For 18% GST: CGST = 9% + SGST = 9%. On interstate transactions, IGST applies at the full rate. This calculator shows the CGST/SGST split automatically.
Input Tax Credit (ITC) allows GST-registered businesses to deduct GST paid on purchases from GST collected on sales. If you pay ₹1,000 GST on raw materials and collect ₹1,800 GST on finished goods, you only remit ₹800 to the government. ITC prevents cascading (tax on tax) that existed under the old VAT system.
