What is the VAT rate in Nepal?

13% is the standard VAT rate in Nepal.

Does VAT apply to the 10% service charge?

In most hospitality contexts, the 10% service charge is added to the base and then VAT is calculated on the sum. Confirm for your specific case.

Can I back-calculate VAT from a total?

Yes. Switch to VAT-inclusive mode. The calculator removes VAT (and optional service charge) to reveal the base, VAT, and total.

Which rounding should I use?

Calculations use full precision; rounding changes display only. Choose No rounding, 2 decimals, Nearest rupee, Round down, or Round up as needed.
