About Sales Tax
Sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by governments on the sale of goods and services. In the United States, sales tax rates vary by state and local jurisdiction, typically ranging from 4% to 10% of the purchase price.
How to Calculate Sales Tax
The formula for calculating sales tax is:
Sales Tax = Purchase Amount × (Tax Rate ÷ 100)
Total Amount = Purchase Amount + Sales Tax
