Yonda U.S. Sales Tax Rate Calculator

Question 1

1. How do I calculate sales tax from a total amount?

Answer

If you want your set prices to be inclusive of sales tax, there’s an easy formula you can use to work out the amount of sales tax. Sales Tax Amount = (Total Product Price x Tax Rate) ÷ (100 + Tax Rate). For example, $25 multiplied by a tax rate of 6.5% is $162.5. If we divide this by 106.5, the final tax amount is $1.53. That means the product price before tax is $23.47 ($25 minus $1.53).

Question 2

2. What are the limitations of a general sales tax calculator by zip code?

Answer

Your tax rate can change depending on the products you sell, so it’s important to confirm the exact rates that apply to your business in each jurisdiction. Also, there are rare instances where rates vary within a zip code. We recommend using a tax calculation service to ensure compliance.
