VAT examples

What is a percentage?

A percentage means per hundred. 15% is the same as 15 out of 100, or 0.15 as a decimal.

Percentage change vs percentage difference

Percentage change compares a new value to an original value, so direction matters. Percentage difference compares two values symmetrically using their average.

How to calculate VAT using percentages

To add 20% VAT, multiply by 1.20. To remove 20% VAT from a VAT-inclusive price, divide by 1.20 rather than subtracting 20%.

What does this mean?

This calculator is designed to help you understand the likely number before you make a decision or start an application.

Your result should be checked against official UK guidance, especially if your circumstances include dependants, exemptions, prior leave, or a complex immigration history.

Treat the figure as a planning tool rather than legal advice. Where the answer affects an application deadline or major payment, speak to an authorised adviser.
