Adding 18% Sales tax (Pakistan) to your net amount.
How to add 18% Sales tax
Multiply the net amount by 0.18 to get the Sales tax, then add it on. For example, 1,000.00 PKR net + 180.00 PKR Sales tax = 1,180.00 PKR gross.
How to remove Sales tax from a price
Divide the Sales tax-inclusive amount by 1.18. For example, 1,000.00 PKR including Sales tax ÷ 1.18 = 847.46 PKR net, so the Sales tax is 152.54 PKR. Subtracting 18% of the gross instead would give 820.00 PKR, which understates the net amount. It's the most common Sales tax mistake.

About Sales tax in Pakistan
Sales tax on goods here works like a value-added tax: registered businesses charge it on their sales and generally adjust for the tax they paid on purchases. The maths for adding or removing it is the same as for VAT.
The standard rate in Pakistan is 18%, charged in PKR. 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.
