What is the difference between Exclusive and Inclusive GST?

Exclusive GST means tax is added on top of the base price. Inclusive GST means the price already includes GST, and the base amount is calculated by reverse calculation.

Why does this calculator show CGST and SGST separately?

For intra-state transactions in India, GST is split equally between the Central Government (CGST) and the State Government (SGST). This calculator provides an exact statutory split.

Can this GST calculator be used for IGST?

Yes. For inter-state transactions, IGST applies. The calculator provides the total GST amount which can be used directly for IGST accounting.

Why does inclusive GST appear lower than expected?

In inclusive pricing, GST is extracted using a statutory formula instead of subtracting a flat percentage. For example, 18% GST on an inclusive price of ₹100 equals ₹15.25, not ₹18.

Business-Ready: Designed for invoicing, freelancing, and accounting accuracy.

Situations & Live Examples

Scenario A: Freelancer’s Quote (Exclusive GST)

A designer charges ₹5,000 for a logo and applies 18% GST.
Result: Base ₹5,000 | GST ₹900 | Total ₹5,900

Scenario B: Shopkeeper’s MRP (Inclusive GST)

A jacket is sold at MRP ₹5,000 including 18% GST.
Result: Base ₹4,237.29 | GST ₹762.71

This prevents businesses from overpaying GST by calculating tax incorrectly on inclusive prices.
