How to calculate sales tax
To calculate sales tax:
-
Determine the sales tax rate for the location where the product or service is being sold. Sales tax rates can vary by country, state, and sometimes even by city or county.
-
Multiply the total item or service cost by the sales tax rate.
Sales Tax Amount=Total Cost of Item×Sales Tax RateSales Tax Amount=Total Cost of Item×Sales Tax Rate
-
If you want to find the total cost, including sales tax, add the sales tax amount to the original cost.
Total Cost Including Tax=Total Cost of Item+Sales Tax AmountTotal Cost Including Tax=Total Cost of Item+Sales Tax Amount
For example, if you’re buying a product that costs $100 and the sales tax rate is 7%, the sales tax amount would be:
$100 x 0.07 = $7
The total cost, including tax, would be $100 + $7 = $107.
It’s important to note that some regions might have additional taxes (like luxury taxes or eco-taxes) or exemptions on certain products, so always ensure you’re using the correct rate for what you’re purchasing.
