FAQ
How does Add and Remove work in this sales tax calculator?
Add applies the tax on top of a pre-tax amount; Remove treats the amount as tax-inclusive and extracts the tax so the net plus tax equals what you entered.
Does the Sales Tax Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Sales Tax Calculator runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript; the values you enter never leave your device and nothing is uploaded or saved.
Which sales-tax rate do I use?
Use the combined state and local rate for your location, since US sales-tax rates differ by jurisdiction. The tool applies whatever rate you type.
Is sales tax the same as VAT or GST?
They are all consumption taxes computed similarly here, but rules and naming differ by country. Use the rate appropriate to your region.
