Calculation methodology

For a confirmed standard-rated supply, the calculator applies 15% VAT, 2.5% NHIL and 2.5% GETFund separately to the same tax-exclusive base. Add mode totals those three charges with the base; extract mode divides a tax-inclusive amount by 1.20 before splitting the 20% charge. Zero-rated, exempt, relieved and custom-scenario treatments remain explicit confirmation paths rather than automatic classifications.

Known limitations

  • Informational estimate only. It is not professional tax, legal, payroll, or filing advice.
  • Product classification, exemption, and zero-rating rules can require invoice-level review.
  • Sector-specific, regional, treaty, relief, and special-regime rules may not be fully modeled.
  • Confirm filing, registration, and remittance duties with the official authority or a qualified adviser before submission.

Test-case examples

Input: Standard-rated tax-exclusive amount: GHS 1,000.
Expected: VAT is GHS 150, NHIL is GHS 25, GETFund is GHS 25, total tax and levies are GHS 200, and the invoice total is GHS 1,200.
Why: Confirms that all three current charges use the same base and remain separately auditable.

Input: Standard-rated tax-inclusive amount: GHS 1,200.
Expected: The tax-exclusive base is GHS 1,000, VAT is GHS 150, NHIL is GHS 25, GETFund is GHS 25, and total tax and levies are GHS 200.
Why: Confirms reverse extraction against the combined 20% standard charge without hiding its components.

Input: Confirmed zero-rated supply with a tax-exclusive amount of GHS 1,000.
Expected: VAT, NHIL and GETFund are all GHS 0 and the total remains GHS 1,000.
Why: Confirms that zero-rating is a deliberate classification and does not retain standard levies.
