When to use reverse GST

  • Vendor invoice

    Bill shows ₹11,800 total without a clear breakup — reverse calc gives ₹10,000 base + ₹1,800 GST at 18%.

  • MRP / retail price

    Product MRP ₹590 (incl. 18% GST) → base ₹500 and GST ₹90 for margin checks.

  • ITC / purchase register

    Input tax credit needs exact GST paid — split CGST/SGST or IGST from inclusive amounts.

  • Price negotiation

    Negotiate on taxable value only; reverse calculator separates tax from the quoted inclusive price.

FAQ

Reverse GST FAQs

What is reverse GST calculation?+

It finds the taxable value (base amount) when you only know the GST-inclusive total — e.g. ₹11,800 inclusive of 18% GST → base ₹10,000 + GST ₹1,800.

When should I use CGST+SGST vs IGST?+

CGST+SGST applies to intra-state supplies (same state). IGST applies to inter-state supplies. The total GST amount is the same; only the split changes.

What is the formula?+

Base amount = Total inclusive ÷ (1 + GST% ÷ 100). Example: ₹11,800 ÷ 1.18 = ₹10,000 at 18% GST.

Is this the same as the homepage GST calculator?+

Yes — same math. This page focuses on removing GST from a total. The homepage calculator also adds GST to a base amount.
