How the sales tax calculator works

Calculate the sales tax amount and final checkout price from a pre-tax price and the local percentage rate you enter.

Method and assumptions

Figur multiplies the pre-tax price by the rate you enter, then adds that tax to the original price.

  • The entered rate already combines the applicable state and local rates.
  • Exemptions, caps, tax holidays, and product-specific rates are not included.
  • The result is rounded to the nearest cent.

Sales-tax rules vary by location and product. Verify the rate and exemptions for important purchases.

Worked example
