Sales Tax Calculator

Add sales tax to a price, or work out the price before tax from a total. Enter your own local rate. Nothing leaves your browser.

How it works

Adding tax: tax = price × rate ÷ 100, total = price + tax. Removing tax: price before tax = total ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100).

FAQ

How do I calculate sales tax?

Tax = price × rate ÷ 100. Total = price + tax. For example, $50 at 8% is $4.00 tax and $54.00 total.

How do I remove sales tax from a total?

Divide the total by (1 + rate ÷ 100). A $54.00 total at 8% was $50.00 before tax.

What is my sales tax rate?

Rates vary by state, county and city, and change over time. Check your local tax authority or receipt, then enter that rate here.

Is my data stored or uploaded?
