1. What is Without GST Calculation?

The Without GST calculation determines the original amount before GST was added. This is useful for businesses and consumers who need to know the pre-tax value of goods or services.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• Total — Final amount including GST (INR)
• GST Rate — GST percentage as a decimal (e.g., 18% = 0.18)

Explanation: The formula reverses the GST calculation to find the original amount before tax was added.

3. Importance of Without GST Calculation

Details: Knowing the pre-GST amount is essential for accounting, tax filing, expense tracking, and understanding the true cost of goods/services before taxes.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total amount including GST in INR and the GST rate as a percentage (e.g., 18 for 18%). Both values must be positive numbers.
