How to Calculate Singapore GST (9%) in 2025 – cover

Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Singapore is currently 9%. Whether you are a business owner pricing your products or a consumer checking a bill, knowing how to calculate this correctly is essential.

1. Adding GST (Exclusive → Inclusive)

If you have a price before tax and want to find the final total: Formula:

Price × 1.09

Example:

  • Price: S$100
  • Calculation: $100 × 1.09 = S$109
  • Total: S$109.00

2. Removing GST (Inclusive → Exclusive)

If you have a total price that already includes GST and want to find the original price: Formula:

Total ÷ 1.09

Example:

  • Total: S$109
  • Calculation: $109 ÷ 1.09 = S$100
  • Pre-tax Price: S$100.00
  • GST Amount: S$9.00

GST Rate History in Singapore

  • 2024 - Present: 9%
  • 2023: 8%
  • Pre-2023: 7%

Common Mistakes

  • Don't just subtract 9%: Subtracting 9% from $109 (109 - 9.81 = 99.19) gives the wrong answer. You must divide by 1.09 to reverse the tax.
  • Rounding: GST is usually rounded to the nearest cent.
