FAQ
What is the current GST rate in New Zealand?
The standard rate is 15 % and has remained unchanged since 2010 (NZ Inland Revenue, https://www.ird.govt.nz/gst).
How does the calculator add GST to a net price?
It multiplies your net figure by 1.15, then separates the 15 % GST component for clarity (IRD “Work it out”, URL above).
How does it remove GST from a gross price?
The tool divides the gross amount by 1.15 to find the net, then subtracts to reveal GST (IRD “Work it out”, URL above).
Can I calculate just the GST amount?
Yes—choose “GST Only”; the calculator multiplies your net by 0.15 and shows the GST in NZD.
Does the tool handle cents accurately?
It accepts decimal inputs and rounds results to two decimal places, matching NZD standards (Reserve Bank of NZ, URL above).
Is the calculator suitable for filing official GST returns?
Use it for estimates; file returns with accounting software or a tax adviser to meet IRD record-keeping rules (IRD “Record keeping”, https://www.ird.govt.nz/record-keeping).
Can I access the calculator offline?
The current version is web-based; you need an internet connection to load the page and run the code.
Does it account for zero-rated or exempt supplies?
No. It assumes the standard 15 % rate; zero-rated or exempt items require separate treatment under NZ tax law (IRD “GST rates and codes”, https://www.ird.govt.nz/gst).
