Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.

Sales Tax Calculator

Calculate the sales tax owed on a purchase given the pre-tax price and the applicable tax rate — useful for budgeting US purchases (where sales tax is added at the register and varies state-by-state) and for working out the tax portion of any receipt where it is shown separately. Enter the price before tax and the combined state+local tax rate as a percentage, and the calculator returns the dollar amount of tax. To get the total amount payable, add this tax to the original price. This calculator does not handle the reverse direction (gross-to-net) or true European-style VAT, which is usually quoted inclusive of tax rather than added on top.

Tax Bracket Calculator

Estimate the percentage of your gross income that remains taxable after applying deductions. Use it as a rough proxy for tax exposure — though it does not compute the actual US federal income tax (which is progressive across brackets, not a single flat rate).
