Sales tax and total price from a price and tax rate.

Worth Knowing
US sales tax is added at the register rather than shown in the shelf price, which surprises visitors from VAT countries where the displayed price is final. The rate combines state and local components, so identical purchases cost different totals across city or county lines. This tool applies a single rate to a pre-tax price; remember that many jurisdictions exempt groceries, prescription medicine, and clothing, or tax them at reduced rates, so not every item on a receipt is taxed the same.
