How this calculator works

This calculator states a tax calculation separately so the taxable basis and rate are clear in an estimate.

1. Confirm which amount is taxable under the relevant jurisdiction and contract.
2. Enter that taxable amount and the applicable rate.
3. Display tax separately in the final estimate or quote where required.

Worked example: Example: a $1,000 taxable amount at 8.25% produces $82.50 tax and a $1,082.50 amount including tax.
