About this Calculator

This online calculator will calculate the sales tax amounts and a total based on the entered tax percentages.

In the United States sales tax is assesed by most but not all states. A use tax is generally assessed on purchases made by a resident in a state that does charge a sales tax when the purchase is made from a state that does not charge a sales tax. You will generally calculate either a state or use sales tax but not both however, 2 separate fields are provided for clarity and just in-case. Local sales tax is only used if you will also charge, or pay, a tax on the local level such as to a town or municipality.

Sales Tax Formulas/Calculations:

State Tax Amount = Price x (State Tax Percentage / 100)
Use Tax Amount = Price x (Use Tax Percentage / 100)
Local Tax Amount = Price x (Local Tax Percentage / 100)
Total = Price + State Tax Amount + Use Tax Amount + Local Tax Amount
