GST (Goods and Services Tax) is India’s indirect tax on the supply of goods and services. The calculator handles both modes: add GST (when your price is exclusive of tax — typical for B2B) and remove GST (when your price is inclusive — typical for retail). It also splits the tax into CGST + SGST (intra-state) or IGST (inter-state).

CGST + SGST vs IGST
- Intra-state (buyer and seller in same state): GST split equally between Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST). 18% becomes 9% + 9%.
- Inter-state (buyer and seller in different states): full amount goes to Integrated GST (IGST), later distributed between centre and destination state.
- Exports: Zero-rated. No GST charged, but input tax credit (ITC) is fully refundable.
Exclusive vs Inclusive Price
If price is inclusive (remove GST): Net = Price ÷ (1 + Rate); GST = Price − Net
ITC — Input Tax Credit
If you’re GST-registered, you can claim back GST paid on business inputs against GST collected on outputs — paying only the net to the government. This is what makes GST a value-added tax: only the value-add at each stage gets taxed.
