Estimate tax and the total price from a pre-tax amount and tax rate.
This calculator provides a simple estimate. Actual taxes can depend on jurisdiction, exemptions, thresholds, and other rules.
Sales tax is commonly calculated by multiplying a taxable price by a tax rate. The tax amount is then added to the taxable price to obtain a total before any additional fees or adjustments.
If the taxable price is 50 and the tax rate is 8%, the tax is 4 and the total is 54. If several items have different tax treatment, calculate the taxable portions separately rather than applying one rate to the entire receipt.
Tax rates can vary by location and by product or service. Some jurisdictions also use multiple components or exemptions. Enter the rate that applies to the specific transaction instead of assuming that a nearby location uses the same rate.
This calculator is useful for estimates and quick checks. For an actual purchase, invoice, or tax filing, use the applicable official rate and rules for the jurisdiction and transaction.
