Japan Consumption Tax Calculator: Add or Remove 10% or 8%
Add or remove Japanese consumption tax at 10%, or the 8% reduced rate for food and newspapers: the price with and without tax, with fractions of a yen cut.
Prices shown to consumers must include tax. The 8% rate covers food and drink bought to take away (not alcohol or dining in) and newspapers delivered twice a week or more under subscription.
What it does
Consumption tax in Japan is 10% (7.8% national and 2.2% local) on most goods and services, and 8% under the reduced-rate system for food and drink other than alcohol and dining out, and for subscribed newspapers. Since October 2023 invoices for input tax credits must follow the qualified invoice system.

Frequently asked questions
How do I take 10% tax out of a price?
Divide by 1.1: 1,100 yen including tax is 1,000 yen plus 100 yen of tax. For 8% divide by 1.08: 1,080 yen is 1,000 plus 80.
Which items are taxed at 8%?
Food and non-alcoholic drinks for takeaway or delivery, and newspapers delivered at least twice a week by subscription. Eating in, alcohol and catering pay 10%.
How are fractions of a yen rounded?
Each business chooses, but cutting fractions down is the most common practice, and this calculator does so: 10% of 999 yen is 99 yen.
