Sales Tax Calculator
Add a sales-tax or VAT rate to any amount and see the tax and the final total separately.
Sales tax and VAT
Sales tax (common in the U.S.) is added at checkout and varies by state, county, and city. VAT (common in Europe) is usually already included in the displayed price. Enter your local rate to see the tax portion and the total.
Finding your rate
Combined U.S. sales-tax rates typically fall between 0% and about 10%, depending on location. Check your state and local rates, as some items (like groceries or clothing) may be taxed differently or exempt.
Frequently asked questions
Is VAT calculated the same way?
Yes, mathematically. The difference is presentation: VAT is usually included in the shown price, while U.S. sales tax is added at the register.
