Your Details

Overview

Use this Accountants Invoice Total Calculator to estimate a line-item invoice total from the quantity, unit price, discount percentage and tax rate. It separates the subtotal, discount, taxable amount and tax so you can review the figures before preparing an invoice.

How it works

The calculator multiplies quantity by unit price to find the subtotal. It deducts the percentage discount from that subtotal, then calculates tax on the discounted amount. The final invoice total is the discounted amount plus tax. This approach is suitable when one discount and one tax rate apply to the full line or invoice.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1Enter the quantity of items, units or hours to bill.
  2. 2Enter the unit price before discounts and tax.
  3. 3Add a discount percentage, or enter 0 if none applies.
  4. 4Enter the applicable tax, VAT, GST or sales tax rate.
  5. 5Review the invoice total and the supporting subtotal, discount and tax figures.

Example Calculation

Quantity

10

Unit price

$150

Discount

10%

Tax rate

20%

Invoice total

$1,620.00

For 10 units at 150 each, the subtotal is 1,500. A 10% discount reduces this by 150, leaving 1,350 before tax. At 20% tax, the tax is 270 and the invoice total is 1,620.

Frequently asked questions

How is the invoice total calculated?

The calculator multiplies quantity by unit price, subtracts the percentage discount, then adds tax calculated on the discounted amount.

Is tax calculated before or after the discount?

Tax is calculated after the discount in this calculator. This means the discounted amount is treated as the taxable amount.

Can I use this calculator for VAT, GST or sales tax?

Yes. Enter the relevant percentage rate in the tax rate field, provided one rate applies to the amount being calculated.

What should I enter if there is no discount?

Enter 0 in the discount field. The subtotal will then pass directly to the tax calculation.

Does the calculator handle multiple tax rates?

No. It calculates one subtotal with one discount rate and one tax rate. Calculate separate lines where different tax treatments apply, then combine them as appropriate.

Does the total include invoice expenses or prior payments?

No. The result includes only the quantity, unit price, discount and tax inputs. Add expenses, deposits, credits or payments separately if needed.
