How the IVA calculation works
Enter a base imponible to compute the IVA amount and the total, or enter a total to work backwards and extract the base imponible. The calculator applies the Spanish IVA rate you choose for 2026.
The three IVA rates
Spain uses three IVA rates: 21 %, 10 %, and 4 %. Pick the rate that matches your goods or service, and the breakdown updates for that rate.
Adding versus removing IVA
Starting from the base means IVA is added on top to reach the total. Starting from the total means the calculator separates out the base imponible and the IVA already included in the price.
Scope and limits
The rates here are the Spanish ones, so the tool is built for Spain rather than other IVA or VAT systems. Confirm which rate applies to your specific case before relying on the numbers.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Spanish IVA rates?
Spain has three IVA rates in 2026. The general rate is 21 % and applies to most goods and services. The reducido rate is 10 % and covers hospitality, passenger transport, housing, and non-essential foods. The superreducido rate is 4 % and applies to basic foods (bread, milk, eggs, fruit, vegetables), books, and medicines.
What is base imponible?
The base imponible is the price before IVA. IVA is calculated on the base imponible. The total price (precio con IVA) is the base plus the IVA amount.
How do I remove IVA from a price?
Divide the total price by (1 + rate/100). At 21 %: base = total / 1.21. At 10 %: base = total / 1.10. At 4 %: base = total / 1.04. This calculator does the division for you.
Is this for Spain only?
Yes. The rates shown (21 %, 10 %, 4 %) are the standard Spanish IVA rates for mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands. The Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla have different indirect tax regimes.
