Add GST to a Freelance Invoice

The problem

A client agrees “₹50,000 + GST” or “₹50,000 inclusive.” Mixing those up under- or over-charges. Freelancers need the split before the PDF goes out.

Steps

1. Confirm whether the fee is exclusive or inclusive of GST (guide).
2. Open GST Calculator — Add GST or Remove GST.
3. Choose rate (often 18% for many services — verify your SAC/HSN and notification).
4. Choose CGST+SGST (intra-state) or IGST (inter-state) per place of supply.
5. Copy base + tax into Invoice Generator.
6. Optionally validate the client GSTIN with GST Number Validator.
