Deduct (Extract) 6.8% Sales Tax Rate From US $15 Dollars Sales Tax Charged Price

Sales Tax

  • Sales Tax is a consumption tax imposed by states, counties or/and cities and municipalities on the sale of goods and services, in the U.S. Its equivalent in Europe is the Value Added Tax (VAT) and in Canada, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) or HST - in provinces where the provincial and federal taxes have been harmonized.
  • Sales Tax Rate = 6.8% - The Sales Tax Rate value can be written in several equivalent ways:
  • 6.8% = 6.8/100 = 6.8 ÷ 100
  • Listing Price, without Sales Tax = The Selling Price before tax (excluding tax)
  • Sales Tax Charged Price = US $15 Dollars = The Selling Price, with Sales Tax (Tax Inclusive), paid by the final consumer
  • Sales Tax Charged Price = Listing Price, without Sales Tax + Sales Tax Amount

1. Rewrite the Sales Tax Charged Price formula:

  • Formula:
  • 1) Sales Tax Amount = Sales Tax Rate × Listing Price, without Sales Tax
  • 2) Sales Tax Charged Price = Listing Price, without Sales Tax + Sales Tax Amount
  • ...
  • ⇒ Substitute for the Sales Tax Amount in the Sales Tax Charged Price formula:
  • Sales Tax Charged Price = Listing Price, without Sales Tax + Sales Tax Rate × Listing Price, without Sales Tax
  • ...
  • Please see that the Listing Price, without Sales Tax is a common factor:
  • Sales Tax Charged Price = Listing Price, without Sales Tax + Sales Tax Rate × Listing Price, without Sales Tax ⇒
  • Sales Tax Charged Price = (1 + Sales Tax Rate) × Listing Price, without Sales Tax

2. Express the Listing Price, without Sales Tax by the Sales Tax Charged Price:

  • Formula:
  • Sales Tax Charged Price =
  • Listing Price, without Sales Tax × (1 + Sales Tax Rate)
  • ⇒
  • Listing Price, without Sales Tax =
  • Sales Tax Charged Price ÷ (1 + Sales Tax Rate)

3. Calculate the Listing Price, without Sales Tax:

Calculation:

Listing Price, without Sales Tax =

15 ÷ (1 + 6.8%) =

15 ÷ (1 + 6.8/100) =

15 ÷ (1 + 6.8 ÷ 100) =

15 ÷ (1 + 0.068) =

15 ÷ 1.068 ≈

14.044943820225 ≈

4. Calculate the Sales Tax Amount:

  • Sales Tax Amount =
  • Sales Tax Charged Price - Listing Price, without Sales Tax

Calculation:

Sales Tax Amount =

15 - 14.044943820225 =

0.955056179775 ≈

Sales Tax Amount and Sales Tax Rate

What is the "Sales Tax"? What is the "Sales Tax Rate"?

  • The Sales Tax is a consumption tax imposed by states, counties or/and cities and municipalities in the United States on the sale of goods and services.
  • The sales tax is paid by the final consumer to the retailer at the point of sale as a percentage of the selling price of the sold good or service.
  • This percentage, called the Sales Tax Rate, varies from state to state, in Texas for example there is a general sales tax rate of around 6.25%.

Formulas: How to reverse calculate the Sales Tax and the Selling Price Without the Sales Tax out of the Final Sales Tax Charged Price?

  • "Sales tax amount" = "Sales tax rate%" × "Price without sales tax"
  • "Sales tax charged price"
    • = "Price without sales tax" + "Sales tax amount"
    • = "Price without sales tax" + "Sales tax rate%" × "Price without sales tax"
    • = "Price without sales tax" × (1 + "Sales tax rate%")
  • In conclusion:
  • "Price without sales tax" = "Sales tax charged price" ÷ (1 + "Sales tax rate%")

Example of reverse calculating the Sales Tax and the List Selling Price out of the Final Price with the tax

  • Let's say that a person who lives in an area where the sales tax rate is 5% bought some cider and had to pay a total of a $525 dollar bill that included the sales tax.
  • "Price without sales tax"
    • = "Sales tax charged price" ÷ (1 + "Sales tax rate%")
    • = $525 ÷ (1 + 5%)
    • = $525 ÷ (1 + 5/100)
    • = $525 ÷ (1 + 0.05)
    • = $525 ÷ 1.05
    • = $500 dollars.
  • That person had to pay a "Sales tax amount"
    • = "Sales tax charged price" - "Price without sales tax"
    • = $525 - $500
    • = $25 dollars.
