Sales tax calculator

Add sales tax to a price, or find the pre-tax price from a total.

Tax added$7.25
Total with tax$107.25
If price includes tax$93.24Pre-tax amount

How it works

Tax equals price times the rate. If your price already includes tax, the pre-tax price is the total divided by one plus the rate.

Rates vary by state, county, and city. Confirm your local rate with your state revenue department.

Example

With the sample inputs shown above (Price ($) = 100; Combined sales tax rate (%) = 7.25), the calculator returns: Tax added: $7.25; Total with tax: $107.25; If price includes tax: $93.24 (Pre-tax amount).

Things to know

Enter the combined rate that applies where you shop, including state, county, and city taxes. Some items, such as groceries or clothing, may be taxed differently or exempt. Your receipt shows the exact amount.
