Show the working
- Price excluding VAT = 100
- VAT rate = 24
- Price including VAT = 124
- Quantity = 1
- VAT to add = 100 * 24 / 100 = 24
- Price including VAT = 100 + 24 = 124
- Line total for the quantity = 124 * 1 = 124
- Net price behind a gross one = 124 / (1 + 24/100) = 100
- VAT inside a gross price = 124 - 100 = 24
- VAT fraction of a gross price = (1 + 24/100) > 0 ? (24/100) / (1 + 24/100) : 0 = 0.193 548
- Gross-up multiplier = 1 + 24/100 = 1.24
- wrong_way = 124 * (1 - 24/100) = 94.24
- How far the subtraction method goes wrong = 100 - 94.24 = 5.76
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) = 0.193548
The VAT fraction is the shortcut accountants use: at 24% you multiply a gross figure by 0.193548 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.
