Sales Tax / VAT / GST Calculator

Multiply the price by the tax rate as a decimal and add it: $100 at 7.5% tax = $100 + $7.50 = $107.50.

Divide by (1 + the rate): a $107.50 price with 7.5% tax already included is $107.50 ÷ 1.075 = $100 pre-tax. Use the “extract tax” mode above.

Usually after — most US states charge sales tax on the price you actually pay, i.e. the discounted price.
