Calculate Sales Tax

Enter the price before tax and the sales tax rate to find the tax amount and final total.

Sales tax amount: Price × (Tax rate / 100)

Total amount: Price + Sales tax amount

How is sales tax calculated?

Sales tax is calculated by multiplying the purchase price by the sales tax rate.

Sales Tax Amount = Price × (Tax Rate / 100)
Total Amount = Price + Sales Tax Amount

Example

If you are buying an item for $50 and the sales tax rate is 7.5%:

  • Tax Amount = $50 × 0.075 = $3.75
  • Total Amount = $50 + $3.75 = $53.75
