Thank you, everyone, for the detailed answers, special thanks to joigus much clearer now, also found an online VAT calculator tool, it is best for automatic calculations. 

Hello community,

I have a question regarding the calculation of Value Added Tax (VAT), and I'm reaching out to get some insights from fellow members.

Suppose I've received a net payment of 200 euros, and I need to calculate the gross amount for VAT purposes with a VAT rate of 25% in my region. I stumbled upon a formula that suggests multiplying the net amount by 1 plus the VAT percentage, which in this case is 1.25. According to the formula, the gross amount should be 250 euros.

However, during my attempt to verify this calculation:

• If 250 euros represents 100%, 1% would be 2.50 euros.
• 25% would be 62.50 euros.
• Subtracting 62.50 euros from the gross amount of 250 euros leaves me with only 187.50 euros, which is less than the initial net payment of 200 euros.

I'm a bit puzzled and suspect there might be an error in my approach. Could someone please help me identify where I might be going wrong or provide guidance on the correct method to calculate the gross amount with a VAT rate of 25%?

I appreciate any assistance or advice you can offer.

Thank you.
