How to Use an EU VAT Calculator: Tax-Inclusive vs Tax-Exclusive Prices
Selling into the EU, VAT is the thing that trips everyone up: does the listed price include tax, and how do you actually calculate profit? A VAT calculator takes the rate and gives you the answer in one step, so you stop doing mental math.
VAT and import duty are different things: VAT is a consumption tax, while duty is estimated from HS code plus destination country. Calculate both locally so your data never leaves your device.
Pair it with a return-cost calculator to see the true net profit after returns - that's how you price safely.
