Sales Tax Calculator - Calculate Tax, Price & Rate

How Do You Calculate Sales Tax?

The formula for calculating sales tax is:

Sales Tax Amount = Before Tax Price × (Sales Tax Rate ÷ 100)
After Tax Price = Before Tax Price + Sales Tax Amount

If you know After Tax Price and Sales Tax Rate:

Before Tax Price = After Tax Price ÷ (1 + Sales Tax Rate ÷ 100)
Sales Tax Amount = After Tax Price - Before Tax Price
