Frequently Asked Questions
How much is $49 plus 8%?
$52.92 — enter price with rate; tax ($3.92) and total display together. Exempt items calculate separately.
Which rate applies?
Varies by jurisdiction (0–10%+ in the US; VAT/GST elsewhere). Type any custom rate, or pick a US state from the built-in 51-entry base-rate table (CA 7.25%, NY 4.00%). State mode shows base rates only — local/county add-ons of 1–3% are excluded, and the five zero-tax states (AK, DE, MT, NH, OR) flag as such.
Tax-inclusive pricing?
Not supported — the tool only adds tax onto a pre-tax price; there is no reverse mode that backs tax out of a total. For receipts needing both figures, divide the total by (1 + rate) yourself.
Do tax figures upload?
No — math runs locally in your browser. Numbers never leave your device.
