How to Use This GST Calculator

This calculator handles two types of GST calculations that Indian businesses need every day. Here's exactly what each option does:

Add GST (Exclusive) — When you know the base price

Use this when you have a base price and need to find out how much to charge your customer including GST. For example, if your service costs ₹10,000 and you charge 18% GST, this mode calculates the GST amount (₹1,800) and the final invoice amount (₹11,800).

Example — Digital marketing agency raising an invoice:
Service fee (base price) ₹10,000
GST @ 18% ₹1,800
CGST (9%) ₹900
SGST (9%) ₹900
Total invoice amount ₹11,800

Remove GST (Inclusive / Reverse) — When you know the MRP or total

Use this when you already have a GST-inclusive price and need to reverse-calculate the base amount and the GST portion. This is commonly used by shopkeepers, traders, and retailers who receive a total invoice and need to split base price from tax for their accounts.

Example — Retailer receives a ₹1,180 invoice and needs to know the GST portion:
GST-inclusive total (MRP) ₹1,180
Base price (extracted) ₹1,000
GST @ 18% (extracted) ₹180
CGST (9%) ₹90
SGST (9%) ₹90

Intra-state vs Inter-state — Which toggle to use

If you are supplying goods or services within the same state (e.g., seller in Punjab, buyer in Punjab), keep the toggle on Intra-state. The GST splits into CGST and SGST — half each.

If you are supplying across states (e.g., seller in Punjab, buyer in Maharashtra), switch to Inter-state. The full GST is charged as IGST — no split. This is also used for exports and imports.

Profit Margin feature

Click "+ Add Profit Margin" to include your profit on top of the cost before GST is applied. This is useful for traders and manufacturers who want to calculate the final selling price including their margin and GST in one step.

Tired of calculating GST manually every invoice?

The right accounting software does this automatically — every invoice, every time, with zero errors.

Frequently Asked Questions About GST in India

How is GST calculated on a product or service?+
GST is calculated as a percentage of the base (pre-tax) price. The formula is: GST Amount = Base Price × GST Rate ÷ 100. The final price the customer pays is Base Price + GST Amount. For example, a product priced at ₹500 with 18% GST: GST = ₹90, Final Price = ₹590. For intra-state transactions, this GST splits equally into CGST (₹45) and SGST (₹45). For inter-state, the full ₹90 is charged as IGST.
What is the GST rate on digital marketing services in India?+
Digital marketing services — including SEO, social media marketing, PPC, content marketing, and related services — attract 18% GST in India under the "Information Technology enabled Services" category. This means if you hire a digital marketing agency for ₹50,000/month, the GST component is ₹9,000, making the total invoice ₹59,000. Businesses registered under GST can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on this amount, effectively making it a cost-neutral expense.
What is the difference between CGST, SGST, and IGST?+
CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) apply to transactions within the same state — both are levied simultaneously, each at half the applicable GST rate. So for an 18% intra-state transaction, CGST = 9% and SGST = 9%.

IGST (Integrated GST) applies to inter-state transactions — when the supplier and buyer are in different states. IGST equals the full GST rate (18% in this case) and is collected by the central government, which then distributes the state's share. Exports are also treated as inter-state and are typically zero-rated (0% IGST with LUT filing).
Can I claim GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) on software subscriptions?+
Yes — GST paid on software subscriptions used for business purposes is eligible for Input Tax Credit, provided your business is GST registered and the software is used in the course of business (not personal use). This applies to accounting software, CRM tools, project management platforms, marketing tools, and similar SaaS subscriptions. The supplier must have filed their GST returns and the invoice must appear in your GSTR-2B for ITC to be claimable. If you're looking for accounting software that handles ITC tracking automatically, that's something your accountant or software consultant can help configure.
What is the GST threshold limit for small businesses in India?+
Businesses with an annual turnover below ₹40 lakhs (for goods) or ₹20 lakhs (for services) are exempt from mandatory GST registration in most states. For special category states (northeastern states, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh), the threshold is ₹20 lakhs for goods and ₹10 lakhs for services. Businesses below these limits can still voluntarily register to claim ITC, which is often beneficial for B2B businesses. The Composition Scheme is available for businesses up to ₹1.5 crore turnover, allowing a flat tax rate with simplified compliance.
Is GST applicable on exports from India?+
Exports from India are treated as zero-rated supplies under GST — meaning GST is charged at 0%, and the exporter can claim a refund of all input taxes paid. There are two ways to export under GST: (1) Export under LUT (Letter of Undertaking) — no GST is charged on the export invoice, and ITC is refunded. (2) Export with payment of IGST — IGST is paid upfront and then claimed as a refund. Most regular exporters prefer the LUT route as it avoids blocking working capital in tax refund cycles.
What accounting software automatically calculates GST on invoices?+
Most modern cloud accounting tools for Indian businesses have built-in GST calculation, CGST/SGST/IGST split, and direct GSTR filing integration. Popular options include Tally Prime, Zoho Books, RealBooks, QuickBooks India, and Vyapar. The right choice depends on your business size, number of users, and whether you need inventory management alongside accounting.
