How to Calculate

How to Calculate IVA in Argentina


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


Adding IVA (Net to Gross)


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


Formula: Gross Amount = Net Amount x (1 + 21/100)

Multiplier: 1.2100


Example Calculation:

  • Net Amount: 100.00
  • IVA Rate: 21%
  • IVA Amount: 100.00 x 21/100 = 21.00
  • Gross Amount: 100.00 + 21.00 = 121.00

  • Removing IVA (Gross to Net) - Reverse Calculation


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


    Formula: Net Amount = Gross Amount / (1 + 21/100)

    Divider: 1.2100


    Example Calculation:

  • Gross Amount: 121.00
  • IVA Rate: 21%
  • Net Amount: 121.00 / 1.2100 = 100.00
  • IVA Amount: 121.00 - 100.00 = 21.00
