Saudi VAT Calculator
Add Saudi VAT to a price or work out how much VAT is inside a total, with the amount before tax, the VAT and the total, rounded to the halala.
How it's calculated
Saudi Arabia charges VAT at the standard rate on most goods and services (ZATCA, under Royal Order A/638).
- Add VAT to a price before tax: VAT = price × rate, and the total is price + VAT.
- Find the VAT in a total that already includes it: VAT = total × rate ÷ (100 + rate). Taking the rate off the total gives the wrong answer, because VAT was charged on the smaller, pre-tax price.
Amounts are rounded to the halala. Some supplies are zero-rated (such as exports and international transport) or exempt (such as residential rent and some financial services); this calculator applies the standard rate.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide the total by 1.15 to get the price before VAT; the VAT is the difference. Taking 15% off the total gives the wrong answer.
When did VAT become 15%?
On 1 July 2020, by Royal Order A/638. Before that the rate was 5%.
Is everything taxed at 15%?
Most goods and services are. Some supplies are zero-rated (such as exports and international transport) and some are exempt (such as residential rent).
