VAT Flat Rate Calculator (UK FRS)
Calculator
This calculator estimates VAT due under the UK Flat Rate Scheme. Instead of calculating VAT on each transaction, you apply a fixed percentage to your total VAT-inclusive turnover.
This simplifies accounting and is commonly used by small businesses to streamline VAT reporting.
Formula: VAT due = Turnover × flat rate
Result Explanation
The result shows how much VAT you owe based on your turnover and flat rate percentage.
Key insight: You pay VAT on total turnover, not individual transactions.
How It Works
The calculator multiplies your total VAT-inclusive turnover by your flat rate percentage to estimate VAT due.
Examples
Example 1: £10,000 × 12% = £1,200 VAT
Example 2: £6,500 × 8% = £520 VAT
