How do I calculate sales tax on a price?

Multiply the price by the tax rate, then add it to the price: tax = price × rate, total = price × (1 + rate). Enter your price and a region code like US-CA above and the tool does both steps for you.

Is there a free vat calculator for the UK and Europe?

Yes — type GB for the UK's 20% VAT, or DE, FR, IT and other EU country codes for their national VAT rates. The tool uses bundled offline rate data, so it works without signup.

Can this work as a gst calculator for Canada or Australia?

Yes. Enter CA-ON for Ontario (13% combined GST/HST) or other Canadian province codes, or AU for Australia's national GST. Rates come from the node-sales-tax bundled dataset.

Where can I find the right tax rate for my region?

Use a 2-letter country code (GB, DE, JP) or add a state/province for the US, Canada and Spain (US-CA, US-TX, CA-ON). If the code is unknown you'll get an error listing valid examples.

How do I get the price with tax included?

Enter the pre-tax price and your region code — the "Total with tax" result is the price with tax included, and "Tax amount" shows the tax portion separately.

Why does the calculator show 0% for the region "US"?

The United States has no federal sales tax, so the national rate is genuinely 0%. Always include a state code — US-CA, US-NY, US-TX — to get that state's rate.
