Question 1

How do I calculate sales tax on a purchase?

Accepted Answer

Multiply the pre-tax price by the tax rate as a decimal. At an 8% rate, a $100 item has $8 of tax and a $108 total.

Question 2

Is sales tax the same everywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. In the US it varies by state, county, and city, so combined rates differ from place to place. Enter your local combined rate for an accurate total.

Question 3

How do I find the price before tax?

Accepted Answer

Divide the total by 1 plus the tax rate. A $108 total at 8% tax is $108 ÷ 1.08 = $100 before tax.

Question 4

Does sales tax apply to every item?

Accepted Answer

Not always — some places exempt groceries, medicine, or clothing, or tax them at a lower rate. Check your local rules for the specific item.
