How it works

Adding tax multiplies the net price by one plus the rate. Removing tax divides the gross price by the same factor, recovering the pre-tax amount and the tax portion separately.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate tax backwards?

Divide the gross total by 1 plus the rate. At 8%, a $108 total contains $100 net and $8 tax — not $8.64.

Is sales tax the same as VAT?

They work similarly for the buyer, but VAT is collected at each stage of the supply chain. Use the VAT calculator for European rates.
