How to Calculate

How to Calculate IVA in Portugal


Calculating IVA in Portugal 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 + 23/100)

Multiplier: 1.2300


Example Calculation:

  • Net Amount: 100.00
  • IVA Rate: 23%
  • IVA Amount: 100.00 x 23/100 = 23.00
  • Gross Amount: 100.00 + 23.00 = 123.00

    • 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 + 23/100)

    Divider: 1.2300


    Example Calculation:

  • Gross Amount: 123.00
  • IVA Rate: 23%
  • Net Amount: 123.00 / 1.2300 = 100.00
  • IVA Amount: 123.00 - 100.00 = 23.00
