Best Answer

To calculate the tax percentage on a sale take the total sale, subtract the price of the item, then divide the result by the price of the item. Fpr example

a $1.00 item is purchased, the total sale is $1.10, subtract the $1.00. $.010 was paid in tax, to determine the tax percentage paid divide $ .10 by the

$1.00 item price and you get a .10 tax rate (or 10%).


( total purchase price - price of item ) / price of item = tax percentage


Be aware that on some sales only a portion of the sale is taxable, such as a take out order from a restuarant only the carbonated beverage may be taxable.

How do you add tax to a price?

If the tax is 10 percent and the price of the item is $1.00 then you simply calculate 10% of 1.0. = 10 cents and add it to the original price.You would charge the person $1.10 (including tax).The simple way to calculate the final price mathematically is to express the percent as a decimal and add 1 to it. Then multiply the price by this number.I.e If the tax is 5.6% you would express this a 0.056 + 1 = 1.056 and multiple the pre tax price by this number.
