£150 plus VAT
£150 plus 20% VAT is £180. The standard-rate VAT on £150 is £30. Change the amount or rate in the calculator below.
To add UK VAT, multiply the net amount by 1 + (rate ÷ 100). At the standard 20% rate that is × 1.20, so £150 × 1.20 = £180, of which £30 is VAT.
UK VAT rates: 20% standard (most goods and services), 5% reduced (domestic energy, children's car seats), 0% zero-rated (most food, books, children's clothes). Zero-rated still appears on VAT returns; exempt supplies (insurance, finance, education) do not.
How it works.
Formula: net × (1 + rate ÷ 100) = gross.
- Convert the rate: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.20.
- VAT amount: £150 × 0.20 = £30.
- Gross: £150 + £30 = £180 (or £150 × 1.20).
