How the GST Calculator works

For a GST-exclusive (base) price, GST amount = base price x GST rate / 100, and final price = base + GST. For a GST-inclusive price, base price = inclusive price x 100 / (100 + rate), and GST amount = inclusive price - base. For intra-state sales the GST splits equally into CGST and SGST (half each); for inter-state sales it is charged as a single IGST equal to the full rate. Indian rates are 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%.

Worked example

A product sold GST-inclusive at ₹1,180 at 18% GST: base price = 1180 x 100 / 118 = ₹1,000, and GST = ₹180. Within the same state this is CGST ₹90 + SGST ₹90; for an inter-state sale it is IGST ₹180.

Frequently asked questions

When do I charge CGST+SGST versus IGST?

Charge CGST + SGST when the buyer is in the same state as your store (intra-state). Charge IGST when the buyer is in a different state (inter-state). The total tax rate is the same either way.

My MRP already includes GST. How do I find the tax portion?

Use the inclusive option: base price = MRP x 100 / (100 + rate). For example ₹1,180 at 18% gives a base of ₹1,000 and GST of ₹180.

Which GST rate applies to my product?

It depends on the item's HSN code. Common slabs are 5% for many essentials, 12% and 18% for standard goods, and 28% for luxury or sin goods. Check your product's HSN to confirm.

Do I need to charge GST if I am not registered?

No. Only businesses registered under GST must charge and collect it. Registration is generally required once turnover crosses the threshold (commonly ₹40 lakh for goods, lower in some special-category states).
