GST Calculator

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in India. It replaced multiple taxes like VAT, service tax, and excise duty. GST is calculated at different rates (5%, 12%, 18%, 28%) depending on the type of goods or services.

CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) are levied on intra-state supplies, each at half the GST rate. IGST (Integrated GST) is levied on inter-state supplies at the full GST rate. For example, 18% GST becomes 9% CGST + 9% SGST for intra-state, or 18% IGST for inter-state.

Exclusive GST means the amount entered is the base amount before GST, and GST is added on top. Inclusive GST means the amount entered already includes GST, and we calculate the base amount and GST component from it.

GST rates in India are: 0% (essential items), 5% (basic necessities), 12% (processed food, medicines), 18% (most goods and services), and 28% (luxury items, cars, tobacco). Some items like petroleum and alcohol are outside GST scope.

GST rates are determined by the HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code for goods or SAC (Services Accounting Code) for services. Check the GST rate finder or consult the GST rate schedule. Most common business supplies fall under 18% GST.

Yes, this calculator is suitable for business use and invoice generation. However, ensure you use the correct GST rate for your specific goods/services and comply with GST invoicing requirements including proper HSN/SAC codes and GSTIN details.

Reverse charge means the recipient of goods/services pays GST instead of the supplier. This applies to specific services like legal services, transport services, and services from unregistered suppliers. The recipient must pay GST and can claim input tax credit.
