Why taking VAT off isn't the same as a discount
Removing VAT isn't the same as knocking 20% off the price. VAT is 20% of the price before VAT, so it is 20 parts in 120 of the price including VAT. Knocking 20% off £100 leaves £80.00, but the VAT inside £100 is only £16.67.
That is why the calculator divides by 1.2 to remove VAT, rather than multiplying by 0.8.

Primary sources
Each calculator applies HMRC's published rates and rules, works in whole pence and rounds to the nearest penny. Every step is shown, and every figure links to its GOV.UK or HMRC page with the date we checked it. Before launch, each worked example is checked against HMRC's own guidance. Spot something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it and note the change.
