How Our Calculator Works?

The backend of the VAT Calculator Spain is powered by a simple JavaScript function that performs real-time calculations based on user input. Here's a brief overview of the backend process:

1. User Input: The calculator captures user input for the purchase amount and selected VAT rate.
2. Calculation Logic:
   • The JavaScript function calculates the VAT using the formula: VAT=Purchase Amount×VAT Rate\text{VAT} = \text{Purchase Amount} \times \text{VAT Rate}VAT=Purchase Amount×VAT Rate
   • It then calculates the total price by adding the VAT amount to the purchase amount: Total Price=Purchase Amount+VAT\text{Total Price} = \text{Purchase Amount} + \text{VAT}Total Price=Purchase Amount+VAT
3. Display Results: The calculated VAT amount and total price are displayed instantly for the user to review.
