How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your total sales amount in the "Total Sales" field (e.g., $10,000)
- Enter your sales tax rate in the "Sales Tax Rate" field (e.g., 8.25% as 8.25)
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute the taxable sales amount
- The result will show the total amount including tax
Working Principle
The calculator uses the formula:
Taxable Sales = Total Sales × (1 + Sales Tax Rate)
For example, if your total sales are $10,000 and your sales tax rate is 8.25%, the taxable sales would be:
$10,000 × (1 + 0.0825) = $10,825
Practical Applications
- Businesses to calculate total sales including tax for accounting purposes
- Individuals to estimate total cost before purchasing items with sales tax
- E-commerce platforms to display shipping costs with tax
