Formula Explained
The calculation to find the price without GST uses this simple formula:
Original Price = (Price with GST) / (1 + GST Rate)
For example, if an item costs $110 including 10% GST:
Original Price = $110 / (1 + 0.10) = $110 / 1.10 ≈ $100
The calculator uses this formula to reverse the GST calculation and provide you with the original price before tax was added.
Worked Examples
Let's look at some practical examples to understand how the price without GST calculator works:
Example 1: 10% GST
If a product costs $121 including 10% GST:
Original Price = $121 / 1.10 ≈ $110
The original price before GST was $110.
Example 2: 15% GST
For a service priced at $115 including 15% GST:
Original Price = $115 / 1.15 ≈ $100
The original price before GST was $100.
