THE THINKING BEHIND THE ANSWER

How this calculation works

Use the tax rate that applies to your transaction. This arithmetic tool does not determine local tax rates, exemptions, or filing obligations.

Add: total = subtotal × (1 + rate). Included: subtotal = total ÷ (1 + rate).

Your calculation, step by step

  1. Total = 100 × (1 + 0.085) = 108.5.
  2. Tax = 108.5 − 100 = 8.5.
A worked example

100 plus 8.5% tax is 108.50.

Work through an example.

Inspect the assumptions and limits before applying a result.
