Which rate to use
The presets are Romania's rates: 21% standard and 11% reduced, in force since 1 August 2025, plus 0%. If you work with another country's VAT, choose “Other rate” and enter it.
Some sales are exempt or fall under the reverse charge, and then no VAT appears on the document. If you are not sure which rate applies to what you sell, ask your accountant: the calculator only does the arithmetic.
How to add VAT to a price
VAT = net amount × rate ÷ 100, and total = net amount + VAT. For 1,000 before VAT at 21%, the VAT is 210 and the total 1,210.
Business-to-business quotes usually show prices before VAT, with VAT added at the end. For consumers it is clearer to show the total including VAT, so they see what they will pay.
How to remove VAT from a price that includes it
Net = gross price ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100). For 1,210 including 21% VAT, the net amount is 1,210 ÷ 1.21 = 1,000 and the VAT 210.
The common mistake is to take 21% off the gross price: 1,210 minus 21% is 955.90, not 1,000. The VAT inside a price of 100 at 21% is 17.36.
VAT in a quote
A clear quote says whether prices include VAT and which rate applies. When one quote has products at different rates, show the VAT for each rate separately.
A quote is not a tax document: VAT is charged on the invoice. The calculator helps you check the amounts before you put them in a quote or an invoice.

Frequently asked questions
What are the VAT rates in Romania?
The standard rate is 21% and the reduced rate 11%, both since 1 August 2025. Some sales are exempt or fall under the reverse charge.
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide the price by 1 plus the rate: by 1.21 for 21%, by 1.11 for 11%. The difference between the price and the result is the VAT.
Why is the VAT in a price not 21% of that price?
Because 21% applies to the net amount, not the total. Out of 121, the VAT is 21, which is 17.36% of 121.
Does the calculator handle the reverse charge?
The calculator does not choose the rate. For reverse charge or exempt sales choose 0% and state the regime on the document, as your accountant advises.
