Additional Cess
How to Calculate GST
GST Amount = Original Price × (GST Rate / 100)When the price doesn't include GST (GST Exclusive)
Where:
Original Price=Price before GSTGST Rate=5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%Final Price=Original Price + GST Amount
Scenario
Product price is ₹1,000 (before GST), GST rate is 18%
Solution
GST = ₹1,000 × 18/100 = ₹180. Final Price = ₹1,000 + ₹180 = ₹1,180.
Original Price = Final Price × (100 / (100 + GST Rate))When the price includes GST (GST Inclusive) - Reverse calculation
Where:
Final Price=Price displayed to customer (includes GST)GST Amount=Final Price - Original Price
Scenario
Product MRP is ₹1,180 (includes 18% GST)
Solution
Original = ₹1,180 × (100/118) = ₹1,000. GST = ₹1,180 - ₹1,000 = ₹180.

Scenario
You buy raw materials for ₹1,00,000 + ₹18,000 GST. You sell finished goods for ₹1,50,000 + ₹27,000 GST.
Solution
GST on sales: ₹27,000. GST on purchases (ITC): ₹18,000. GST payable: ₹27,000 - ₹18,000 = ₹9,000.
5Common GST Calculation Mistakes
- **Wrong rate applied** – Always verify the HSN/SAC code for correct rate
- **Inclusive/exclusive confusion** – Know whether prices are pre-GST or post-GST
- **Ignoring cess** – Some items have additional cess beyond the GST rate
- **IGST vs CGST/SGST error** – Use IGST only for interstate, CGST+SGST for intrastate
- **ITC on ineligible items** – Some purchases (personal use, blocked credits) don't qualify
- **Rounding errors** – Round to nearest rupee consistently
