Price Before GST
Purpose
Extracts the original (taxable) price from a GST-inclusive price.
Formula
Original Price = Net Price ÷ (1 + (GST Rate ÷ 100))What is Price Before GST?
Price Before GST reverses a GST-inclusive total to uncover the original pre-tax base price of a product or service.
How It Works
Worked Example
A client gives you a flat budget cap of ₹1,18,000 inclusive of all taxes at 18% GST. Base Price = ₹1,18,000 / 1.18 = ₹1,00,000. GST component = ₹18,000.
When to Use This
Essential for accounting teams reconciling lump-sum vendor receipts and contractors working within fixed client budget caps.
Why Use This Tool?
Assuming that an 18% GST inclusive total can be reversed by deducting 18% directly is a common math error (₹1,180 − 18% = ₹967.6, which is wrong). This tool ensures mathematically exact base calculations.
