How GST calculation works

GST is charged as a percentage of the value of a supply. When you're quoting a price and need to add GST, multiply the base amount by the rate and add it on top. When you have a GST-inclusive amount and need to find the base value — common when reverse-calculating from a total invoice value — divide the total by (1 + rate ÷ 100).

CGST, SGST and IGST

A sale within the same state splits GST equally between CGST (central government) and SGST (state government). A sale across state lines is charged as IGST instead, collected centrally and apportioned to the destination state. Either way, the total tax rate you pay is identical — only the split changes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate GST on an amount?

To add GST, multiply the base amount by the GST rate and add it to the base — for example, ₹10,000 at 18% GST is ₹10,000 + ₹1,800 = ₹11,800. To find the base amount from a GST-inclusive price, divide the total by (1 + rate/100).

What's the difference between CGST, SGST and IGST?

For a sale within the same state, GST is split equally into CGST (central) and SGST (state). For a sale across state lines, the full amount is charged as IGST instead. The total tax you pay is the same either way.

Which GST rate should I use?

GST rates are notified by HSN/SAC code, not by product name. Most goods and services now fall under 5% or 18% following the rate rationalisation, with a special 40% rate for sin and luxury goods — check the official rate finder for your specific product.

Is this calculator accurate for GST returns filing?

This calculator gives an instant estimate for invoicing and quotes. For actual GST return filing, use our GST monthly return filing service so a senior CA reviews the numbers before submission.
