# VAT Calculation for Regular / Detailed Products

For regular or detailed products, VAT calculation is straightforward:

* Calculated using the VAT rate of the product itself
* Ignores the VAT rates of any toppings or modifications
* Applies the product's VAT rate to the total amount (including customisations)

## VAT Calculation Formula for Regular / Detailed Products

<mark style="background-color:orange;">**Net Price**</mark> <mark style="background-color:orange;"></mark><mark style="background-color:orange;">(excluding VAT) = Gross Price ÷ ( 1 + VAT Rate )</mark>

<mark style="background-color:orange;">**VAT Amount**</mark> <mark style="background-color:orange;"></mark><mark style="background-color:orange;">= Gross Price - Net Price</mark>

## Example Calculation

If a pizza costs €11.00 and an extra topping costs €0.50, the total price of the pizza becomes €11.50. The VAT will be calculated at the pizza's VAT rate of 13.5%.

For this example, VAT is calculated as follows:

* **Gross Price:** €11.50
* **VAT Rate:** 13.5%
* **Net Price:** €10.13
  * €11.50 ÷ 1.135
* **VAT Amount:** €1.37
  * €11.50 - €10.13

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bossithq.com/vat/vat-calculation/vat-calculation-for-regular-detailed-products.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
