About this Calculator

This sales tax calculator instantly computes the tax amount and total price for any purchase. Enter the pre-tax price and your local sales tax rate to see the exact tax charged and the final amount you'll pay.

You can also reverse-calculate: enter a price that already includes tax to find the original pre-tax amount. This is useful for accounting, reimbursements, and understanding price breakdowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What states have no sales tax?+
Oregon, Montana, New Hampshire, Delaware, and Alaska have no statewide sales tax. Some localities in Alaska may charge local sales taxes.
How do I calculate sales tax manually?+
Multiply the pre-tax price by the tax rate (as a decimal). Example: $100 Γ— 0.085 = $8.50 tax. Total = $108.50.
How do I find the price before tax?+
Pre-tax price = total price Γ· (1 + tax rate). Example: $108.50 Γ· 1.085 = $100.00.
Is sales tax the same as VAT?+
No. US sales tax is charged only at the final sale to the consumer. VAT (used in Europe) is charged at each stage of production. The end consumer often pays a similar amount, but the collection mechanism differs.
