The calculator will compute taxable value, CGST/SGST or IGST, and total invoice amounts.

⚠️ Safety notice: This calculation uses a user-entered rate for estimation only. It does not imply that this rate is statutorily verified for HSN 3901.

Rounding: amounts reconcile at paise precision. If an intra-state split contains an odd paise, CGST is rounded to the nearest paise and SGST carries the residual.

Compliance pointers (ITC / RCM / classification)

ITC hint

Input Tax Credit depends on usage conditions, restrictions, and supplier eligibility. Treat this as a quick hint — verify for edge cases.

Check ITC Rules
RCM / special cases

Reverse Charge is notification-based and can depend on supplier status and transaction type. If you see a warning, double-check notifications and your invoice terms.

No chapter-level RCM note found. Still verify based on notification + supplier category.
Classification checks
  • •Compare adjacent headings within Chapter 39 before finalizing.
  • •Use chapter notes to avoid common confusions (materials vs finished goods, kits, etc.).
  • •For services (99), place-of-supply can change whether IGST/CGST+SGST applies.
