How the sales tax calculator works

Add sales tax to a price or calculate the tax portion already included in a total using a rate you enter.

Formula

Add tax: total = price × (1 + rate ÷ 100). Included tax: pre-tax price = total ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100).

Example

At a 7% rate, a $100 price becomes $107. Removing the included tax from $107 gives a $100 pre-tax price and $7 tax.

What affects the result

  • Use the combined applicable rate for the transaction.
  • This tool does not determine whether an item is taxable.
  • Totals are rounded to cents; item-by-item rounding can differ.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sumvoro find the rate for my address?

No. Enter the applicable rate yourself and confirm local rules and exemptions.

Why not subtract 7% from a tax-inclusive total?

The rate applies to the pre-tax price, not the total. Divide a tax-inclusive amount by 1.07 to remove a 7% tax.
