Frequently Asked Questions
How is sales tax calculated when a discount is applied?
In most jurisdictions, sales tax is calculated on the discounted subtotal rather than the original manufacturer retail price (Tax = (Retail Price - Discount) * Tax Rate).
What is reverse sales tax and how do I calculate it?
Reverse sales tax calculates the original pre-tax price from a tax-inclusive total. The formula is: Pre-tax Price = Total Gross / (1 + (Tax Rate / 100)). For example, if a total is $108.25 at an 8.25% tax rate, the pre-tax price is $108.25 / 1.0825 = $100.00.
Why do sales tax rates vary within the same state?
Total sales tax standardly combines state-level base rates with county, municipal, and special transit district rates, causing total rates to differ across cities.
Are my financial calculations uploaded to external servers?
No. All sales tax and receipt computations execute 100% locally in your web browser memory. No prices, invoices, or financial data are ever stored or transmitted.
