VAT (Value Added Tax) is charged at every stage of production and collected incrementally. GST (Goods & Services Tax) is similar but often replaces multiple indirect taxes with a single levy. Sales Tax is typically applied only at the final point of sale to the consumer.
Yes — select "United States" for a baseline federal rate, then adjust the rate field manually to match your state and local rate. For example, California charges about 7.25% state tax, but combined local rates can be higher. The Custom Rate mode lets you enter any percentage freely.
If you already paid a tax-inclusive price and want to know how much was tax, use Extract mode. Enter the total amount you paid, select the applicable tax rate, and the calculator will reverse-engineer the base price and exact tax amount for you.
