Understanding Sales Tax
Sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by state and local governments on the sale of goods and services. It is calculated as a percentage of the purchase price and collected by the seller at the point of sale.
How Sales Tax is Calculated
Sales tax = Price x Tax Rate. For example, a $100 item with 8.25% tax would have $8.25 in tax for a total of $108.25. Some items like groceries and prescription drugs may be exempt in certain states.
State and Local Rates
Sales tax rates vary significantly by location. Some cities add local taxes on top of the state rate. Always check your local combined rate for the most accurate calculation.
