How it works
The discount is the price times the discount percent. Take that off the price to get the price after discount. Sales tax is then the percent rate applied to that discounted price, and the total is the two added together.
Some places tax the price before a discount, and rules can differ by item. Your receipt shows the order that applies to you.
Worked example
An item at $80.00 with 25% off costs $60.00 before tax. Sales tax of 7% adds $4.20, so the total is $64.20.
Questions
Is tax charged before or after the discount?
It depends on where you shop. Many places tax the price after the discount, so check your receipt for the order used.
Where do I find my tax rate?
Your receipt or the seller's site usually shows the rate charged. Rates can vary by place.
Does a coupon change the tax?
Often a coupon lowers the price before tax, which lowers the tax too. Store rules differ, so ask if you are unsure.
