how to work out vat 17.5% on a calculator?

Answer 1

You have price before VAT (y), and you want the price after VAT (x), so multiply the price before VAT by 1.175:

x = 1.175y

Or if your calculator has a % key, type in the price before VAT then + 17.5%.

If on the other hand, what you have is the price with VAT (x), and you want the price before VAT (y), then:

x = 1.175y
y = x ÷ 1.175

Answer 3

times by 7 then divide by 47 and that will give you the vat amount. then deduct this from £250 and thats the price before vat . the amount is £37.23 so price before vat is £212.77. if you want to work out vat on something and you dont have a calculater, say something is £100 + vat , then its 10% of 100= £10 then 5% of 100= £5 then 2.5% of 100= £2.50 add together = £17.50 so total with vat would be £17.50. hope this helps you out. dave
