What is the difference between gross and net?
Net is the price excluding the tax being calculated. Gross includes that tax: Gross = Net + Tax. At €100 net and a tax rate of 19%, the gross price is €119.
How much VAT is included in €100 at 19%?
Using Sumadillo’s rounding method, €100 gross at 19% contains €84.03 net and €15.97 VAT. Divide 100 by 1.19 to get 84.0336…, round net to €84.03, then subtract it from €100.
Is this a gross-to-net salary calculator?
No. Sumadillo calculates percentage-based tax for a single monetary amount. Income tax on wages, tax classes, health insurance and other social security contributions are not included. To calculate your take-home pay, you need a salary calculator.
What does this calculator calculate?
It applies a percentage-based tax to a net amount, removes it from a gross amount, or calculates back from a tax amount. Net + Tax = Gross. This can be useful for VAT or similar percentage calculations, provided that a single rate applies to the full net amount.
Does the calculator choose the correct rate for my country?
No. Enter the percentage that applies to your calculation. The initial 19% and the 7%, 19% and 20% preset buttons are examples only, not recommendations or country-specific rules. Verify the rate and the tax treatment with the relevant authority or a qualified adviser.
Does 0% automatically mean “tax-exempt”?
No. Selecting 0% simply calculates an amount without adding tax. Whether a transaction is exempt or subject to a special rule depends on the applicable law. The calculator does not assess that.
Why might the result differ from an invoice?
Sumadillo calculates a single amount at a single tax rate. When you enter a gross amount, the net amount is rounded to cents first; the tax is the remainder of the gross amount. Invoices with multiple line items, mixed rates or a different rounding method may differ. Reversing a calculation can produce a different result because of cent rounding.
Are my amounts stored or shared?
The calculator processes your amounts locally in your browser. Its code does not send them to a server or store them in cookies or browser storage. Copying, CSV downloads and printing happen only when you click. Separately, technical hosting data is generated when you visit the website. More about privacy.
Can I use any tax rate?
Yes. Choose any rate from 0 to 100% with up to two decimal places, for example 20%, 8.1% or 0%. The initial 19% and the preset buttons are examples only. You are responsible for selecting the rate and checking the rules that apply to your case.
Does choosing a currency convert my amount?
No. EUR, USD, GBP and CHF are currency labels for the calculation. Changing the selection leaves the numeric amount unchanged; no exchange rate is applied. All results use two decimal places. Country-specific rounding or cash-payment rules are not applied. The static examples on this page are shown in EUR.
