The sales tax formula calculates the tax amount and final price when purchasing goods or services subject to a percentage tax. In the United States, sales tax rates vary by state (0–10.25%) and sometimes by city or county. Understanding how sales tax is calculated helps consumers budget accurately, and helps business owners calculate correct prices and remit accurate tax payments to authorities.
