Show the working
- Price excluding VAT = 100
- VAT rate = 25.5
- Price including VAT = 125.5
- Quantity = 1
- VAT to add = 100 * 25.5 / 100 = 25.5
- Price including VAT = 100 + 25.5 = 125.5
- Line total for the quantity = 125.5 * 1 = 125.5
- Net price behind a gross one = 125.5 / (1 + 25.5/100) = 100
- VAT inside a gross price = 125.5 - 100 = 25.5
- VAT fraction of a gross price = (1 + 25.5/100) > 0 ? (25.5/100) / (1 + 25.5/100) : 0 = 0.203 187
- Gross-up multiplier = 1 + 25.5/100 = 1.255
- wrong_way = 125.5 * (1 - 25.5/100) = 93.4975
- How far the subtraction method goes wrong = 100 - 93.4975 = 6.5025
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) = 0.203187
The VAT fraction is the shortcut accountants use: at 25.5% you multiply a gross figure by 0.203187 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.
