How GST is calculated

Australia's GST rate is 10%. The calculation depends on whether your starting price includes GST or not:

GST-exclusive price: GST = price × 10%
GST-inclusive price: GST = price ÷ 11

The "divide by 11" formula works because GST-inclusive prices contain the original amount plus 10%. Mathematically: price ÷ 1.1 gives the GST-exclusive amount, and price ÷ 11 gives the GST component.

GST inclusive vs exclusive prices
GST-inclusive prices: Show the total amount a customer pays, with GST already added. Australian Consumer Law requires most retail prices displayed to consumers to be GST-inclusive.
GST-exclusive prices: Show the base amount before GST. Business-to-business invoices and quotes often display prices this way, with GST shown as a separate line item.
When do you need to charge GST?

You generally must register for GST and charge it on taxable sales if your business has a GST turnover of $75,000 or more per year ($150,000 for non-profit organisations). Taxi, limousine and ride-sourcing providers must register regardless of turnover; you must also register if you want to claim fuel tax credits.

If you are close to that line, use the dedicated $75,000 GST registration threshold guide to decide whether you are in optional, watch-list, or must-register territory.

Once registered, you charge 10% GST on most goods and services you sell, and you can claim GST credits on your business purchases. Registered businesses report and pay GST through the BAS — see BAS and PAYG due dates for the lodgment calendar, or the sole trader tax action plan for a broader quarterly checklist.

GST quick reference: common amounts

GST on common amounts

Two directions come up constantly: adding 10% GST to a GST-exclusive price, and pulling the GST component out of a GST-inclusive total using the 1/11 rule. Both are shown below for common invoice and quote amounts.

Adding GST (GST-exclusive → GST-inclusive)

Amount (excl. GST)GST (10%)Total (incl. GST)
$10 $1.00$11.00
$50 $5.00$55.00
$100 $10.00$110.00
$500 $50.00$550.00
$1,000 $100.00$1,100.00
$5,000 $500.00$5,500.00
$10,000 $1,000.00$11,000.00

GST component = amount × 10%. Total = amount + GST component.

Removing GST (GST-inclusive → GST-exclusive, the 1/11 rule)

Amount (incl. GST)GST component (÷11)Amount (excl. GST)
$10 $0.91$9.09
$50 $4.55$45.45
$100 $9.09$90.91
$500 $45.45$454.55
$1,000 $90.91$909.09
$5,000 $454.55$4,545.45
$10,000 $909.09$9,090.91

GST component = amount ÷ 11. GST-exclusive amount = total − GST component.

Calculator amounts are rounded to the nearest cent. For invoices containing multiple taxable lines, use the GST amount shown on the invoice or your accounting system's consistent invoice-rounding method.

Worked examples

Three worked GST examples

(a) Adding 10% GST to a quoted price

A tradesperson quotes a job at $8,000 GST-exclusive.

GST = $8,000 × 10% = $800.00

Total quoted price = $8,000 + $800.00 = $8,800.00

(b) Extracting GST from a GST-inclusive total (the 1/11 rule)

A retail price tag shows $220, GST-inclusive.

GST component = $220 ÷ 11 = $20.00

GST-exclusive amount = $220 − $20.00 = $200.00

(c) A small-business invoice and what goes on the BAS

A GST-registered sole trader invoices a client $1,650, GST-inclusive, for a consulting job.

GST on the sale = $1,650 ÷ 11 = $150.00

Net sale (ex GST) = $1,650 − $150.00 = $1,500.00

On the BAS, the full $1,650 is included in G1 (total sales), and the $150.00 GST component is reported at 1A (GST on sales). It's payable at the next BAS due date — see BAS and PAYG due dates.

GST-free vs input-taxed supplies

What is GST-free vs input-taxed?

Not every sale attracts the standard 10% GST. Two categories sit outside the normal calculation, and they work differently:

GST-free supplies — no GST is charged, but the seller can still claim GST credits on related purchases. Common examples: most basic food, most health and medical services, most education courses, and exported goods and services.
Input-taxed supplies — no GST is charged, and the seller cannot claim GST credits on related purchases. Common examples: most financial supplies (such as lending and account fees) and residential rent.

The distinction matters for businesses: selling GST-free goods still lets you claim input tax credits on your costs, while selling input-taxed supplies does not. This calculator assumes a standard 10%-rated supply — check with the ATO or a tax agent if your sale might be GST-free or input-taxed.

FAQ
Is GST always 10% in Australia?
The standard GST rate is 10%, but not every sale is taxable. GST-free supplies (such as many basic foods, health services and education courses) and input-taxed supplies do not have 10% GST added. This calculator is for standard-rated taxable supplies only.
What is the 1/11 rule for GST?
The 1/11 rule extracts the GST component from a GST-inclusive amount: divide the total by 11. It works because a GST-inclusive price is 110% of the GST-exclusive price (11 equal parts), and GST is exactly one of those 11 parts. For example, $220 ÷ 11 = $20 GST, leaving $200 GST-exclusive.
Is GST 10% or 15% in Australia?
Australian GST is 10%. New Zealand GST is 15% — a different tax in a different country, and the two are sometimes confused. If you're calculating New Zealand GST, use an NZ GST calculator instead; this page is for the Australian 10% rate only.
How do I calculate GST on an invoice?
If your invoice shows GST-exclusive prices, multiply each line item by 0.1 to get the GST amount, then add it to the subtotal. If you have a GST-inclusive total, divide by 11 to find the GST component.
What is a GST-inclusive price?
A GST-inclusive price is the total amount including the 10% GST. For example, if an item costs $100 plus GST, the GST-inclusive price is $110.
Who has to register for GST?
Generally, you must register when GST turnover reaches $75,000 a year ($150,000 for non-profits). Taxi, limousine and ride-sourcing providers must register regardless of turnover, and registration is also required if you want to claim fuel tax credits. See our GST registration threshold guide for the full breakdown.
When do I report and pay GST?
GST is reported and paid through your Business Activity Statement (BAS), usually quarterly for small businesses (some report monthly or annually). See our BAS and PAYG due dates page for the exact lodgment dates for each quarter.
Does GST apply to imports and low-value goods bought online?
Generally yes. GST applies to most goods imported into Australia, including low-value goods (under $1,000) purchased online from overseas retailers — the overseas seller typically collects GST at the point of sale under Australia's low-value imported goods rules.
