How to find out the price without BTW of a product

The opposite situation may also arise, where you want to remove BTW from a price. This happens when the price tag gives one, but with the comment that BTW is included. Knowing the net price of the product could be a perfectly valid question to have.

This can be answered by applying the formula:

X
=
Price with BTW
1,16
=
Result price without BTW

Example to remove BTW at 16%

X
=
R 858,4
1,16
=
R 740

Summary of operations for BTW at 16%
