FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I add sales tax to a price?

Tax = price × rate ÷ 100. Total = price + tax. At 8% a $100 item totals $108.

How do I take sales tax out of a total?

Pre-tax price = total ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100). A $108 total at 8% is $100 plus $8 tax.

Do I have to collect sales tax on online sales?

Since the 2018 Wayfair decision, states can require out-of-state sellers to collect tax once they pass an economic nexus threshold. Thresholds vary by state, so check each state where you sell.
