Adding 16% IVA (Mexico) to your net amount.
How to add 16% IVA
Multiply the net amount by 0.16 to get the IVA, then add it on. For example, 1,000.00 MXN net + 160.00 MXN IVA = 1,160.00 MXN gross.
How to remove IVA from a price
Divide the IVA-inclusive amount by 1.16. For example, 1,000.00 MXN including IVA ÷ 1.16 = 862.07 MXN net, so the IVA is 137.93 MXN. Subtracting 16% of the gross instead would give 840.00 MXN, which understates the net amount. It's the most common IVA mistake.

About IVA in Mexico
IVA (impuesto al valor agregado) is the Spanish-language name for value-added tax. It works like VAT everywhere: charged at each stage of supply, with businesses generally crediting the IVA they pay on purchases.
The standard rate in Mexico is 16%, charged in MXN. Reduced or zero rates may apply to some goods and services. Use the calculator's custom rate for those, and confirm current rates with the tax authority before you file.
