Rounded to the nearest cent. This works out sales tax on one amount. It is not tax advice.
This calculator does not look up rates by address, so the result is only as right as the rate you type.
To add sales tax, multiply the price by the rate and divide by 100. $100 at 8.25% is $8.25 of tax, so the total is $108.25.
Or multiply the price by 1.0825 in one step. Two numbers in, one total out.
To find the price before tax, divide the total by 1 plus the rate. $108.25 at 8.25% divided by 1.0825 is $100.00, so the tax was $8.25.
Taking 8.25% off the total gives the wrong answer: $108.25 minus 8.25% is $99.32, not $100.00.
