What's the difference between add and remove?

Add treats your amount as the net (pre-tax) price and calculates the GST-inclusive total. Remove treats your amount as the gross (tax-inclusive) price and works backward to find the net amount and GST portion.

Why would I need to extract GST from a price instead of adding it?

This is common when you have a GST-inclusive receipt or price and need to know the pre-tax amount for bookkeeping, expense claims, or reconciling an invoice.

What GST rate should I use?

Use the actual rate that applies in your country for the relevant goods or service category, since GST rates and applicable categories vary by jurisdiction.

Can I use this for a rate that isn't a round number?

Yes — the calculator works with any decimal tax rate, not just common round percentages, so it handles category-specific or regional rate variations just as well.

Is GST the same in every country that uses it?

No — while the underlying concept of GST is similar internationally, actual rates and which goods or services qualify for reduced or exempt rates vary significantly by country.
