How IVA is calculated
Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) in El Salvador is 13%. You can calculate it in two directions: add it to a base price, or extract it from a price that already includes it.
- Add IVA to a base price: multiply the amount by 1.13.
- Extract IVA from a final price: divide the amount by 1.13 to find the base; the difference from the original amount is IVA.
A common mistake is dividing by 1.13 when the amount is the base rather than the total, or multiplying by 1.13 when tax is already included. Both give the wrong result, and on a real invoice the difference comes directly out of the business margin. This calculator makes the selected case explicit before displaying the result.
