Additional Notes

The calculator assumes that the GST rate is applied uniformly to the entire amount. If you have a complex GST calculation involving multiple rates or exemptions, you may need to perform separate calculations for each component.

Ensure that you enter a valid number in the amount field to get accurate results. The calculator will display ₹0.00 for invalid or empty inputs.
