About GST Calculator

You just want to know the right GST amount without reading a tax textbook or calling your accountant every time.

GST Calculator exists to give you fast, clear, and practical answers for everyday GST questions – with tools you can actually use.

Who We Are

GST Calculator is an independent educational project focused on Goods and Services Tax (GST) and related indirect taxes.

We are not a government website, tax authority, or a filing platform. Instead, we sit in the middle:

Turning complex tax rules into simple tools and guides
Helping you double-check your invoices, quotes, and estimates
Giving you formulas and Excel workflows you can reuse in your own work

Our goal is to save you time and reduce mistakes, not to replace your accountant or local tax office.

What This Site Does

On this site you will find two main types of content:

1. Interactive calculators

These tools help you run numbers in seconds:

GST add / remove calculators
Inclusive vs exclusive price conversions
Specialized calculators for interest, late fees, ITC, and more

Each calculator is designed to be:

Simple – minimal inputs, clear labels
Transparent – formulas are explained in dedicated guide pages
Fast – works on mobile and desktop without heavy pages or logins

2. Deep-dive guides

For users who want to understand the logic behind the numbers, we publish:

Step-by-step breakdowns of GST formulas
Excel and Google Sheets tutorials
Comparisons and explainer articles for tricky topics

Every guide is written in plain English, with real numeric examples and common mistake warnings.

What This Site Does Not Do

It is just as important to be clear about what GST Calculator does not provide:

❌ We do not file GST returns for you
❌ We do not act as your tax advisor or legal representative
❌ We do not guarantee that our examples match every edge case in your jurisdiction
❌ We do not promise that using our tools alone will keep you fully compliant

Our calculators and guides are educational tools, not a substitute for professional tax, legal, or accounting advice.

Whenever you are unsure about a real-world decision – especially for large amounts – you should talk to a qualified professional in your country or region.

Who This Site Is For

GST Calculator is built for people who:

Run a small business and want to quickly check invoices
Work in finance or accounting and need sanity checks
Study GST and want to see formulas in action
Use Excel or Google Sheets to manage large lists of prices

You do not need to be a tax expert to use our tools. We assume you are busy, impatient, and sometimes confused – and we design around that.

How We Build and Check Our Content

We follow a simple set of principles when creating tools and guides:

Formula-first – every calculator is based on explicit, documented formulas
Example-driven – we always show concrete numbers (₹10,000 at 18%, etc.)
Transparent assumptions – we explain what is included and what is out of scope
Continuous improvement – we refine content as tax rules, best practices, or user feedback evolve

Where relevant, we reference official sources such as GST Council and tax authority publications. However, those sources always take precedence over anything you read here.

Data, Privacy, and Cookies

We intentionally keep personal data collection to a minimum:

Calculator inputs are used to compute results in your browser
We do not ask you to create an account to use basic tools
Our hosting and analytics providers may collect standard log data (IP address, browser type, approximate location) to keep the service secure and improve performance

For details on cookies, analytics, and advertising, please read our Privacy Policy.

Advertising and Monetization

To keep the core tools free to use, we may display ads or work with third-party partners in the future.

When we do:

Ads will be clearly marked as advertising
Sponsored content will be labeled so you can tell it apart from our editorial content
We will never sell raw calculator input data as a product

Our primary focus remains delivering useful, trustworthy tools and guides. Monetization is there to support the project, not to drive aggressive tracking or dark patterns.

We cannot respond to every individual tax scenario, but we do read feedback and use it to:

Fix unclear explanations
Add new examples where users get stuck
Prioritize new tools that solve real problems
