Adding 15% GST (New Zealand) to your net amount.
How to add 15% GST
Multiply the net amount by 0.15 to get the GST, then add it on. For example, 1,000.00 NZD net + 150.00 NZD GST = 1,150.00 NZD gross.
How to remove GST from a price
Divide the GST-inclusive amount by 1.15. For example, 1,000.00 NZD including GST ÷ 1.15 = 869.57 NZD net, so the GST is 130.43 NZD. Subtracting 15% of the gross instead would give 850.00 NZD, which understates the net amount. It's the most common GST mistake.

About GST in New Zealand
GST (goods and services tax) is a consumption tax charged on most goods and services. It works the same way as VAT: businesses charge it on their sales and generally claim credits for the GST they pay on purchases.
The standard rate in New Zealand is 15%, charged in NZD. 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.
