How this calculator works

Enter the rate that applies to the transaction. The tool performs the arithmetic but does not determine jurisdiction, nexus, exemptions, or product taxability.

Formula

Tax-exclusive: total = subtotal × (1 + rate ÷ 100)

Example

At 8%, a pre-tax price of 100 produces 8 in tax and a total of 108.

Frequently asked questions

Can this tool find my local sales-tax rate?

No. Enter the applicable combined rate after checking the relevant tax authority or adviser.

How do I remove included sales tax?

Choose tax included. The pre-tax amount is the total divided by one plus the tax rate.
