How to Calculate

How to Calculate ΦΠΑ in Greece


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


Adding ΦΠΑ (Net to Gross)


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


Formula: Gross Amount = Net Amount x (1 + 24/100)

Multiplier: 1.2400


Example Calculation:

  • Net Amount: 100.00
  • ΦΠΑ Rate: 24%
  • ΦΠΑ Amount: 100.00 x 24/100 = 24.00
  • Gross Amount: 100.00 + 24.00 = 124.00

    • Removing ΦΠΑ (Gross to Net) - Reverse Calculation


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


    Formula: Net Amount = Gross Amount / (1 + 24/100)

    Divider: 1.2400


    Example Calculation:

  • Gross Amount: 124.00
  • ΦΠΑ Rate: 24%
  • Net Amount: 124.00 / 1.2400 = 100.00
  • ΦΠΑ Amount: 124.00 - 100.00 = 24.00
