How to Calculate

How to Calculate TVSH in Albania


Calculating TVSH in Albania involves two primary operations: adding TVSH to a net amount and removing TVSH from a gross amount. Here's how each calculation works:


Adding TVSH (Net to Gross)


When you have a net price (excluding TVSH) and need to calculate the final price including TVSH:


Formula: Gross Amount = Net Amount x (1 + 20/100)

Multiplier: 1.2000


Example Calculation:

  • Net Amount: 100.00
  • TVSH Rate: 20%
  • TVSH Amount: 100.00 x 20/100 = 20.00
  • Gross Amount: 100.00 + 20.00 = 120.00

    • Removing TVSH (Gross to Net) - Reverse Calculation


    When you have a gross price (including TVSH) and need to extract the net amount and TVSH:


    Formula: Net Amount = Gross Amount / (1 + 20/100)

    Divider: 1.2000


    Example Calculation:

  • Gross Amount: 120.00
  • TVSH Rate: 20%
  • Net Amount: 120.00 / 1.2000 = 100.00
  • TVSH Amount: 120.00 - 100.00 = 20.00
