Breakdown
Enter an amount to calculate the consumption tax.
How much consumption tax is inside a ¥1,980 tax-included price? What is the tax-included total if you add 10% to a net price? Japanese consumption tax answers change depending on whether the figure is tax-included or tax-excluded, whether the rate is 8% or 10%, and how you round the fraction — and reaching for a calculator every time is a small but constant chore. This consumption tax calculator takes a single amount and a choice of whether it is tax-excluded or tax-included, then shows the net price, the tax amount, and the tax-included total at once. For a tax-excluded input it adds the tax on top to give the gross; for a tax-included input it pulls the tax back out to give the net. You can switch with one tap between the reduced 8% rate (used for food, non-alcoholic groceries, and newspapers) and the standard 10%, and you can type any custom rate (such as the old 5% or 8%). The tax fraction can be floored (the default, common in retail), ceiled, or rounded to the nearest yen. The net, tax, and gross always add up exactly, because the tax is rounded first and the other figure is derived from it — so you can use the breakdown directly on a receipt or invoice. Everything is computed only inside your browser; the amount you enter is never sent to any server.

FAQ
Is the amount I enter sent to a server?
No. The whole calculation runs inside your browser; the amount you enter is never uploaded, stored, or transmitted. It works fully locally.
What's the difference between tax-included and tax-excluded mode?
Tax-excluded adds the consumption tax on top of a net price to get the gross (¥1,000 net + 10% = ¥1,100 gross). Tax-included pulls the tax already contained in a gross price back out to get the net (¥1,100 gross contains ¥100 tax, so ¥1,000 net). Just toggle whether your input is net or gross to compute either direction.
When does the reduced 8% rate apply?
In Japan the reduced 8% rate applies to food and non-alcoholic groceries (excluding dining out) and to subscription newspapers; everything else is the standard 10%. You can switch 8% / 10% with the rate buttons, or type any custom rate such as the old 5% or 8%.
How is the tax fraction rounded?
You can floor, ceil, or round the sub-yen tax to the nearest yen. Floor is the default because it is the most common choice in retail. Whichever you pick, the displayed net, tax, and gross always add up exactly.
Why do net, tax, and gross always add up?
Because the tax is rounded first and the other figure is derived from it by subtraction (or addition). For a tax-included price, the net is computed as gross minus tax, so the three numbers stay consistent and can be used directly as a receipt or invoice breakdown.
