How to Calculate

How to Calculate KM in Estonia


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


Adding KM (Net to Gross)


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


Formula: Gross Amount = Net Amount x (1 + 22/100)

Multiplier: 1.2200


Example Calculation:

  • Net Amount: 100.00
  • KM Rate: 22%
  • KM Amount: 100.00 x 22/100 = 22.00
  • Gross Amount: 100.00 + 22.00 = 122.00

    • Removing KM (Gross to Net) - Reverse Calculation


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


    Formula: Net Amount = Gross Amount / (1 + 22/100)

    Divider: 1.2200


    Example Calculation:

  • Gross Amount: 122.00
  • KM Rate: 22%
  • Net Amount: 122.00 / 1.2200 = 100.00
  • KM Amount: 122.00 - 100.00 = 22.00
