Formula
Adding GST: GST = Net × Rate ÷ 100. Removing GST: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate ÷ 100), GST = Gross − Net
- Net
- value of supply before tax
- Gross
- GST-inclusive amount
- Rate
- applicable GST rate (%)
Worked example
- The price ₹1,180 includes 18% GST.
- Net = 1,180 ÷ 1.18 = ₹1,000.
- GST = 1,180 − 1,000 = ₹180.
- Within one state this is ₹90 CGST + ₹90 SGST; between states it is ₹180 IGST.
A ₹1,180 GST-inclusive price is ₹1,000 plus ₹180 GST.
What the result means
To remove GST, divide by 1 plus the rate; do not just subtract 18% of the inclusive price (1,180 × 18% = 212.40, which is wrong). The applicable rate depends on the HSN or SAC classification of the item or service.

Questions
What are the current GST rates in India?
From 22 September 2025 the main rates are 5% and 18%, plus 40% for specified goods such as certain luxury cars and aerated drinks. Special rates include 3% for gold and jewellery and 0.25% for rough diamonds. Many essentials are exempt.
When is CGST + SGST charged instead of IGST?
CGST and SGST apply when the supplier and the place of supply are in the same state or union territory. IGST applies to inter-state supplies and imports.
How do I calculate GST backwards from an inclusive price?
Divide the inclusive amount by (1 + rate ÷ 100) to get the net price, then subtract. For 18%: net = amount ÷ 1.18.
