This Sales Tax Calculator helps you calculate the final price after sales tax in the United States. Choose a state to auto-fill the statewide tax rate, or enter a custom rate for city/county totals. It also supports tax-included pricing, discounts, and quantity.

Visual Analysis

How It Works

There are two common pricing styles:

Tax added on top: Total = Price × (1 + tax rate)

Tax included: Pre-tax = Price ÷ (1 + tax rate), Tax = Price − Pre-tax

State rates shown are statewide (standard) rates. Many locations add local taxes on top, which is why a custom rate option is included.

Worked Examples

Example 1: California purchase (tax added on top)

Inputs

currency1
price100
quantity1
discount percent0
tax included0
use state rate1
state rate7.25
custom rate8.25

Results

tax rate percent7.25
subtotal100
discount amount0
price before tax100
sales tax7.25
total price107.25

$100 × 7.25% = $7.25 tax, total $107.25.

Example 2: Oregon (no state sales tax)

Inputs

currency1
price79.99
quantity1
discount percent0
tax included0
use state rate1
state rate0
custom rate8.25

Results

tax rate percent0
subtotal79.99
discount amount0
price before tax79.99
sales tax0
total price79.99

Oregon statewide rate is 0%, so tax is $0 and total equals the price.

Example 3: Tax-included price (reverse sales tax)

Inputs

currency1
price108
quantity1
discount percent0
tax included1
use state rate0
state rate7.25
custom rate8

Results

tax rate percent8
subtotal108
discount amount0
price before tax100
sales tax8
total price108

If $108 is tax-included at 8%, pre-tax is $100 and tax is $8.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sales tax = price × (tax rate ÷ 100). Total price = price + sales tax.

Many states add city, county, and special district taxes on top of the statewide rate. Your combined rate can be higher than the state-only rate.

Several states have a 0% statewide sales tax. This calculator includes those states, but local taxes may still exist in some places.

Pre-tax price = total ÷ (1 + rate). Tax = total − pre-tax price.

Sales tax rates can change. The state rates here are standard statewide rates and should be used as estimates. For exact totals, use your combined state+local rate.

Sources & Methodology

Statewide sales tax rates are based on a standard state-rate table and may change over time.
