Sales Tax Calculator

This tool calculates the sales tax amount and the total price including tax.

Formulas

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

Or directly:
Total Price = Price × (1 + Tax Rate ÷ 100)

Example

Item price = $120, Sales tax rate = 8%
Tax amount = 120 × 0.08 = $9.60
Total price = 120 + 9.60 = $129.60

Tips

  • Confirm whether the given price is already tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive.
  • Some regions have different rates for different product categories.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Total price = original price × (1 + tax rate/100).
Does the calculator work with any tax rate?
Yes, enter whatever percentage applies in your location.
What if the price already includes tax?
Then you need to extract the pre-tax price first (divide total by 1 + tax rate).
