How to work out sales taxes - Step by Step

Here are the solutions to the questions stated above:

1) You purchase a item for 100 dollars and pay 10 % (percent) in tax. How much is tax and the final retail price including tax?

Sales tax Formula (Final Price)

Final price including tax = before tax price × (1 + tax rate (%) / 100)

or, if the tax is alread expressed in decimal,

Final price including tax = before tax price × (1 + tax rate)


2) You buy a item for 110 dollars after tax was added. You know that the applicable tax rate is 10%. How much is the before tax price?

Sales tax Formula (Before Tax Price)

Before Tax Price ($) = Final price / (1 + tax rate(%) / 100)

Before Tax Price ($) = Final price / (1 + tax rate)

More about sale taxes

Tax rates vary widely by jurisdiction and range from less than 1% to over 10%. Tax is collected by the seller at the time of sale. A sales tax is imposed at the retail level. In cases where items are sold at retail more than once, such as used cars, the sales tax can be charged on the same item indefinitely. To determine the (total) tax rate you should identify the total amount of tax you must charge. If, for example, a state has a two percent tax rate, a given county two percent and a city one percent, the total tax rate applicable is five percent: 2 + 2 + 1 = 5.
