  • Remove GST (Inclusive / Reverse GST): Original Base Price = Gross Price ÷ (1 + GST Rate / 100) | GST Amount = Gross Price – Base Price
  • Intra-State Supply (Within Same State): Central GST (CGST) = GST Amount ÷ 2 | State GST (SGST) = GST Amount ÷ 2
  • Inter-State Supply (Between Different States): Integrated GST (IGST) = Total GST Amount (100% credited to Central Pool)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How to calculate 18% GST on a ₹10,000 bill?
Base Price = ₹10,000. GST Rate = 18%. GST Amount = ₹10,000 × 18% = ₹1,800. Total Invoice Price = ₹11,800. For an intra-state transaction, CGST is ₹900 (9%) and SGST is ₹900 (9%). For an inter-state sale, IGST is ₹1,800 (18%).
How to extract / remove GST from an inclusive price (Reverse GST)?
Use the reverse formula: Base Price = Total Inclusive Price ÷ (1 + GST Rate / 100). For example, if a bill is ₹1,180 with 18% GST: Base Price = 1,180 ÷ 1.18 = ₹1,000, and GST Amount = ₹1,180 − ₹1,000 = ₹180.
What is the difference between CGST, SGST, and IGST?
CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) apply equally to transactions where seller and buyer are in the same state. IGST (Integrated GST) applies when transactions cross state lines or international borders, governed by the Central Government.
