About GST in India

What are the standard GST slabs in India?

India has five standard GST slabs: 0% (essential items like unbranded food grains and fresh produce), 5% (household items like sugar, tea, edible oil), 12% (processed food, clothing under ₹1000), 18% (most services, electronics, AC), and 28% (luxury items like cars, tobacco, AC restaurants). Some items also carry an additional Compensation Cess on top of the GST.

What's the difference between CGST, SGST, and IGST?

For intra-state supply (buyer and seller in the same state), GST is split 50:50 between CGST (Central GST, goes to the central government) and SGST (State GST, goes to the state government). For inter-state supply (buyer and seller in different states), the full GST is charged as IGST (Integrated GST). For Union Territories, UTGST replaces SGST.

How do I calculate GST on an invoice?

If your amount is exclusive of GST (the base price): multiply by the GST rate to get the GST amount, then add to the base for the total. If your amount is inclusive of GST (the total price): divide by (1 + GST rate) to get the base, and subtract from the total to get the GST amount. This calculator handles both directions automatically.

Is GST charged on a discount?

If the discount is given before or at the time of sale and shown on the invoice, GST is charged on the post-discount amount. If the discount is given after the sale (e.g., as a cash discount or rebate), GST is charged on the original amount. For invoice-time discounts, use the Lekkal invoice generator — it applies the discount before tax by default.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. This calculator runs entirely in your browser. None of your inputs are sent to any server, and nothing is logged. You can use it for sensitive client data with confidence.
