What is the difference between CGST, SGST and IGST?

For intra-state transactions (supplier and buyer in the same state), GST is split equally into CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST). For example, 18% GST on an intra-state sale means 9% CGST + 9% SGST. For inter-state transactions, only IGST (Integrated GST) applies at the full rate. The total tax amount is the same in both cases — only the collection mechanism differs.

What GST rate applies to IT services and software?

Software products, IT services, consulting, SaaS, and most professional services attract 18% GST in India. This includes freelance software development, app development, web design, and cloud services. Exports of services are zero-rated (0% GST) with the option to claim input tax credit refund.

How do I calculate GST-inclusive price?

Use the Inclusive (Extract GST) mode. Enter the total price including GST, select the GST rate, and the calculator back-calculates the base amount and GST component. Formula: Base Price = Total Price ÷ (1 + GST Rate%). For example, a ₹118 GST-inclusive price at 18% means base = ₹118 ÷ 1.18 = ₹100, and GST = ₹18.

Is GST applicable on exports from India?

Exports are zero-rated under GST in India. The exporter charges 0% GST on exports and can claim a refund of all input GST paid on goods and services used in the export supply. This makes Indian exports competitive globally. This calculator covers domestic transactions only.
