VAT Flat Rate Calculator (UK FRS)

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
