GST calculator for Australia

To add GST in Australia, multiply the price by 1.1. To find the GST in a GST-inclusive price, divide the price by 11; the price without GST is the total divided by 1.1. GST is 10% on most sales, and some sales are GST-free.

How to add GST

Multiply the price by 10% and add it: A$1,000 plus A$100 GST is A$1,100. In one step: A$1,000 × 1.1 = A$1,100.

How to work out GST from a total

Divide the GST-inclusive total by 11 to get the GST: A$1,100 ÷ 11 = A$100. Divide the total by 1.1 to get the price without GST: A$1,000.

GST-free and input-taxed sales

Some sales are GST-free (no GST is charged, and you can still claim GST credits on what you buy for them) and some are input-taxed (no GST is charged and you generally cannot claim the credits). The ATO lists which sales fall into each group.

You must register for GST when your GST turnover reaches A$75,000, and within 21 days of reaching it. Below that you do not add GST to your invoices.
