Compare calculators
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.
Property Tax Calculator
Estimate your annual property tax bill using your home's market value, local assessment ratio, tax rate, and eligible exemptions like homestead or veteran status. Useful when budgeting for homeownership or comparing locations.
