Sales Tax Calculator

About This Tool

Alright, let’s be real—nobody likes calculating sales tax. It’s one of those annoying little tasks that pops up when you’re shopping, running a business, or just trying to figure out how much that new gadget is actually going to cost you. That’s where this sales tax calculator comes in. It’s not fancy. It doesn’t have a flashy interface or a million features. But it does one thing well: it tells you how much tax you’ll pay—and what the total will be—based on the price and tax rate you give it.

I built this because I got tired of doing the math in my head every time I bought something online or priced out an invoice. Sometimes I’d forget to add the tax. Other times, I’d mess up the percentage. This tool fixes that. You type in the price, pick your state (or enter a custom rate), and boom—you’ve got your numbers. Simple. Fast. No nonsense.

• No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. Just pure, unfiltered math.

FAQ

Q: Why isn’t my city’s tax rate listed?
A: We include major cities and standard state rates, but local tax zones can get complicated. If your area has a unique rate, just use the custom rate field. It’s there for a reason.

Q: Can I use this for business invoices?
A: Sure, why not? It’s not a full accounting tool, but if you need a quick estimate for pricing or client quotes, it’ll do the job. Just double-check with your actual tax guidelines—rules change, and we update rates when we can.
