Remove-GST breakdown of this amount at each standard slab:

Handy for invoices: find which slab reproduces your inclusive total exactly.
How do I remove GST from an inclusive price?
Divide the inclusive total by (1 + rate/100). For an 18% inclusive price of 1,180: base = 1,180 / 1.18 = 1,000, GST = 180. Select "Remove GST (inclusive)" above and the calculator does it for any amount and slab.
What are the current GST slabs?
The main slabs are 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. A 0.25% rate applies to rough diamonds and 3% to gold jewellery. Essentials sit at 0-5%, most services at 18%, and luxury/demerit goods at 28% plus cess where applicable.
Exclusive vs inclusive: which should businesses invoice?
Business-to-business invoices are typically GST-exclusive (the buyer adds GST and may claim Input Tax Credit on it). Consumer-facing prices are GST-inclusive (what you see is what you pay). The same base price produces the same GST either way.
Can I claim back GST paid on purchases?
Yes - GST-registered businesses claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on GST paid for business purchases and offset it against output GST collected. Keep proper invoices; ITC claims require the supplier to have filed their returns.
GST slabs change with Council notifications, and specific goods or services may attract cess. This tool is for information only - verify applicable rates with a GST practitioner or the CBIC website before filing.
