How do I add tax to a price?

Multiply the base amount by the tax rate to find the tax amount, then add that amount to the base. For example, 20% tax on 80 adds 16, so the total becomes 96.

How do I calculate VAT?

VAT is calculated the same way as any percentage tax: multiply the pre-tax amount by the VAT rate, then add the VAT amount to the original figure to get the total with VAT.

What is the total after tax?

The total after tax is the original amount plus the tax amount. Once you know the rate and the base amount, the calculator gives both values directly.
