Understanding GST Calculation in India
Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India has slabs of 0%, 3%, 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. For intra-state transactions, GST splits equally into CGST (Central) and SGST (State).
Exclusive calculation adds GST on top of a base amount. Inclusive calculation extracts the GST already contained in a total price. Our calculator handles both and shows the CGST/SGST breakup.
