Show the working
- Price excluding VAT = 100
- VAT rate = 14
- Price including VAT = 114
- Quantity = 1
- VAT to add = 100 * 14 / 100 = 14
- Price including VAT = 100 + 14 = 114
- Line total for the quantity = 114 * 1 = 114
- Net price behind a gross one = 114 / (1 + 14/100) = 100
- VAT inside a gross price = 114 - 100 = 14
- VAT fraction of a gross price = (1 + 14/100) > 0 ? (14/100) / (1 + 14/100) : 0 = 0.122 807
- Gross-up multiplier = 1 + 14/100 = 1.14
- wrong_way = 114 * (1 - 14/100) = 98.04
- How far the subtraction method goes wrong = 100 - 98.04 = 1.96
Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

The formula
- gross = net x (1 + rate)
- net = gross / (1 + rate)
- VAT fraction of a gross price = rate / (100 + rate) = 0.122807
The VAT fraction is the shortcut accountants use: at 14% you multiply a gross figure by 0.122807 to get the VAT straight out.
Rates and reduced-rate categories change by legislation. The rate here is a default; check the current one before invoicing.
