Add GST to a base amount, or extract GST from a total. Works for all standard rates with automatic CGST + SGST split.
Enter the amount and select your GST rate. If your amount does NOT include GST yet (e.g., a base price), choose "Add GST (Exclusive)". If your amount already includes GST (e.g., an invoice total), choose "Extract GST (Inclusive)". The calculator instantly shows base amount, CGST, SGST, and total.
| Rate | Typical Goods / Services |
|---|---|
| 0% | Fresh fruits, vegetables, milk, education, healthcare |
| 5% | Packaged food, edible oils, transport services, footwear under ₹1,000 |
| 12% | Processed food, mobile phones, fertilizers, business class air tickets |
| 18% | Most services, capital goods, restaurants, telecom — most common rate |
| 28% | Luxury items, automobiles, tobacco, aerated drinks (often + cess) |
For intra-state transactions (buyer and seller in the same state), GST is split equally between Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST). For example, an 18% GST becomes 9% CGST + 9% SGST. For inter-state transactions, the full rate is collected as Integrated GST (IGST) by the centre and then distributed.
India has four main GST rate slabs: 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. Essential items are taxed at 0% or 5%, standard goods/services at 12% or 18%, and luxury or sin goods at 28% (often with an additional cess).
GST-exclusive means the amount does NOT include GST — you add GST to it. GST-inclusive means the amount already includes GST — you extract GST from it. Use this calculator to switch between the two.
For an intra-state transaction, total GST is split equally between Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST). E.g., at 18% GST, CGST = 9% and SGST = 9%. For inter-state transactions, it becomes IGST (full rate, single component).
No. Some essential items like fresh fruits, vegetables, milk, education and healthcare services are exempt from GST. Petroleum products and alcohol for human consumption are outside GST and taxed separately.
GST registration is mandatory if your annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh for special category states) for goods, or ₹20 lakh for services. Voluntary registration is also allowed.
