How to remove VAT from a price
If a price already includes VAT, you should not simply subtract 25, 12 or 6 percent. The calculator divides the total by 1.25, 1.12 or 1.06 and shows both the amount excluding VAT and the VAT amount.
Swedish VAT rates in 2026
25 percent is the general Swedish VAT rate. 12 percent applies to categories including hotel accommodation and restaurant or catering services.
From 1 April 2026, VAT on food is normally 6 percent. Up to and including 31 March 2026 it was normally 12 percent. Restaurant services remain at 12 percent.
Excluding or including VAT
Choose Add VAT when you start with a price excluding VAT. Choose Remove VAT when you start with a price including VAT and want the net amount.
Select the VAT rate that applies to the specific product or service. The calculator does not determine the legally correct VAT category for you.
