GST in India is split into CGST (Central) and SGST (State) for intra-state transactions — each typically half the total rate — or IGST (Integrated) for inter-state transactions, at the full rate. This calculator shows the total GST amount; check with your accountant on the CGST/SGST/IGST split for invoicing.
GST rates vary by specific product/service (HSN/SAC code) and can change via GST Council notifications. Verify the exact applicable rate for your goods or service on the GST portal before invoicing.
