Is GST Calculator really free?

Yes — no account, no paywall, no watermark added to the result.

Does my file get uploaded anywhere?

No. GST Calculator runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib/pdf.js — your file is never sent to a server.

What's the difference between Add GST and Remove GST?

"Add GST" treats your amount as the base price and calculates GST on top of it. "Remove GST" treats your amount as already including GST and works backward to find the base price — use this when you have a final price and need to know how much of it is tax.

Which GST rates are available?

The common Indian GST slabs — 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28% — plus a Custom option for any other rate.

Is the math the same as official GST calculations?

Yes — standard percentage-based GST math (amount × rate/100 to add; amount ÷ (1+rate/100) to work backward from a GST-inclusive total).

Can I use this for a different country's VAT/sales tax?

Yes, mechanically — the math is generic percentage tax math; just enter that region's rate in the Custom field. The preset rates and "GST" framing are specifically Indian, though.

Is this official tax advice?

No — it's a convenience calculator for quick estimates, not professional tax or accounting advice. Confirm anything that matters for filing or compliance with a qualified professional.

Does it round the result?

Results are shown to 2 decimal places, standard for currency amounts.

Can I copy the result?

Yes — a Copy to clipboard button sits next to the calculated breakdown.

Is my amount sent anywhere?

No — the calculation happens entirely in your browser as you type; nothing is transmitted.
