GST Calculator

As per GST 2.0 (effective September 22, 2025), India has six GST rates: 0% (essentials), 0.25% (rough diamonds), 3% (gold/silver/precious stones), 5% (transport, restaurants), 18% (most goods and services), and 40% (tobacco, aerated drinks, luxury cars, bikes over 350cc). The earlier 12% and 28% slabs have been abolished.

For intra-state (within the same state) transactions, GST is split equally into CGST (Central) and SGST (State). For inter-state transactions, IGST (Integrated) is charged at the full rate. The total tax amount remains the same.

To find the GST amount from a GST-inclusive price, use: GST Amount = Price - (Price / (1 + GST Rate/100)). For example, if the inclusive price is Rs 1,180 at 18% GST, the base price is Rs 1,000 and GST is Rs 180.

Most goods and services attract GST. However, certain essentials like fresh fruits, vegetables, milk, education (up to higher secondary), and healthcare services are exempt from GST.

Yes, registered businesses can claim ITC on GST paid on business purchases and expenses, provided the supplier has filed their GSTR-1 and the invoice appears in your GSTR-2B. Personal expenses and certain blocked credits under Section 17(5) are not eligible.
