Chile VAT Calculator

VAT (IVA — Impuesto al Valor Agregado) is a consumption tax paid by end consumers when purchasing goods, products, and services. In Chile the rate is 19%.

To calculate VAT, multiply the net amount by 0.19. To get the gross (VAT-inclusive) amount, multiply the net by 1.19.

Divide the gross (VAT-inclusive) amount by 1.19. Divide, don't subtract: taking 19% off the gross leaves you short.
