How it works
To add tax, multiply the price by the rate and add that to the price. To take tax out of a total, divide the total by one plus the rate, then subtract the result from the total.
Some places stack a state rate with a county or city rate. Add them together and type the sum as one rate.
Worked example
With $80.00 and a rate of 8.25%, you get $80.00 before tax, $6.60 of tax, and a total of $86.60.
Questions
Where do I find my local rate?
Your state, county or city tax office publishes it, and many receipts show it. Rates change, so check the current figure before you rely on it.
Is tax charged on the tax?
No. Sales tax is a percent of the price before tax, so the tax itself is not taxed again.
Does this cover tax on services or shipping?
Not always. Some places tax certain services or shipping, and some do not. Check the local rules for what you are selling.
