How Pre-GST Price Calculator is Calculated
The base price is calculated using the formula: Pre-GST Price = GST-Inclusive Price ÷ (1 + GST Rate/100). For example, at 18% GST, the divisor is 1.18. The GST amount is then split equally into CGST and SGST for intra-state transactions, or shown as IGST for inter-state.
