GST Calculation Formulas

GST Exclusive (Adding GST):

  • GST Amount = (Original Amount × GST Rate) / 100
  • Total Amount = Original Amount + GST Amount

GST Inclusive (Extracting GST):

  • GST Amount = (Total Amount × GST Rate) / (100 + GST Rate)
  • Original Amount = Total Amount - GST Amount

Understanding CGST, SGST, and IGST

For intra-state transactions (within same state), GST is split equally between Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST). For inter-state transactions (across states), Integrated GST (IGST) applies.

Example: 18% GST intra-state = 9% CGST + 9% SGST. 18% GST inter-state = 18% IGST.

Common GST Rates by Category

  • 12% GST: Processed food, computers, business class air travel
  • 18% GST: Most services, capital goods, industrial intermediaries
  • 28% GST: Luxury items, automobiles, tobacco products

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What is the difference between GST inclusive and exclusive?

A

GST inclusive means the GST is already included in the price you see. GST exclusive means GST needs to be added on top of the displayed price. For example, ₹1000 inclusive at 18% GST means base price is ₹847.46 and GST is ₹152.54. But ₹1000 exclusive at 18% GST means final price is ₹1180 (₹1000 + ₹180 GST).

Q

How do I calculate GST from total amount?

A

To calculate GST from total amount (inclusive): GST Amount = (Total × GST Rate) / (100 + GST Rate). For example, if total is ₹1180 with 18% GST: GST = (1180 × 18) / 118 = ₹180.

Q

What are the current GST rates in India?

A

The current GST rates in India are 0% (exempt), 0.25%, 3%, 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. Most commonly used rates are 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28% depending on goods and services.
