Question 1

How to calculate GST using this online GST calculator?

Accepted Answer

Enter your transaction amount, select a GST rate slab (0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%), choose between GST Exclusive (add tax to amount) or GST Inclusive (extract tax from amount), and select Intrastate (CGST + SGST) or Interstate (IGST). The calculator instantly shows the full tax breakdown.

Question 2

What is the GST calculation formula for exclusive and inclusive methods?

Accepted Answer

For GST Exclusive: GST Amount = (Base Amount × GST Rate) ÷ 100, and Total = Base Amount + GST Amount. For GST Inclusive (reverse calculation): Base Amount = Total × (100 ÷ (100 + GST Rate)), and GST Amount = Total − Base Amount.

Question 3

What are the current GST tax slabs in India?

Accepted Answer

India has five main GST slabs: 0% (exempt essentials like milk, grains), 5% (necessities like tea, sugar, medicines), 12% (processed food, apparel), 18% (most services, electronics, capital goods), and 28% (luxury goods, automobiles). Some items also attract additional compensation cess.

Question 4

What is the difference between CGST, SGST, and IGST?

Accepted Answer

CGST (Central GST) is collected by the Central Government, and SGST (State GST) is collected by the State Government — both apply on intrastate transactions within the same state. IGST (Integrated GST) applies on interstate transactions between different states and is collected by the Central Government.
