  • Also check you phone, my Xiaomi has 3 or 4 different calculators.
    You haven't seen my phone. It's the next model up from two plastic cups connected by a piece of string. :/

    Two plastic cups? Luxury! I've only got one plastic cup and I have to imagine the string!

    Can’t you just do Price x 1.2 if you want to work out the price + VAT?

    That must be it then. That was my other CASIO which must be about 35 years old.

    My first calculator would also do that, a Prinzsound (Dixons) from the early 1970s. :D
    Only packed up about 10yrs ago after a battery leaked.:)
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Sub £5 Casio MX-85 works if you put 100+20% instantly displays 120

    Bought from ASDA a few months back.

    Surely by the time you've found the calculator and effed around with it it's faster to do it in your head.
    VAT is just Add a tenth, twice.
