Sales Tax Calculator: Add or Remove Tax
Calculate the total price including sales tax, or find the pre-tax price from a total. Works with any tax rate — useful for shopping, invoicing, and budget planning anywhere in the world.
Formula
Tax Amount = Price × (Tax Rate ÷ 100). Total = Price + Tax Amount. To remove tax: Pre-Tax = Total ÷ (1 + Tax Rate ÷ 100).
Worked example
A 100 item with 10% tax: tax = 10, total = 110. To reverse: 110 ÷ 1.10 = 100 pre-tax.
Practical guidance
Different tax types worldwide
Sales tax, VAT, GST, and consumption tax vary by country and region. Some prices include tax (VAT-inclusive), while others add it at checkout. Always check whether your local prices are tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive.
Budgeting with tax
When planning a purchase, calculate the total with tax first to avoid surprises at checkout. For a 500 budget with 10% tax, your pre-tax limit is about 454.55.
