Understanding Sales Tax

Sales tax rates vary widely by state, county, and city. In the United States, most states do not tax essential items like groceries or prescription medications, while luxury items may have a higher rate.

The formula for sales tax is simple: Total = Price × (1 + Tax Rate). For example, if you're buying a $100 item with an 8% tax rate, you'd pay $108.
