FAQs

1. How do I reverse sales tax manually without a calculator?

You can reverse sales tax by dividing the total amount by (1 + tax rate as a decimal). For example, with a 6.625% tax, divide the total by 1.06625. This gives you the pre-tax amount.

2. Is there a difference between sales tax and use tax?

Yes. Sales tax is charged at the point of sale, while use tax is self-assessed on out-of-state purchases. Both can apply depending on your location (like in NC, NJ, or CA).

3. What are the current sales tax rates in popular states like Connecticut or Utah?

Here are a few 2024 examples:

  • Connecticut (CT): 6.35%

  • Utah (UT): 4.85% state base, but may be higher with local taxes

  • Ohio (OH): ranges from 5.75% to 8% depending on the county

4. Can this reverse calculator help me figure out business cost of sales?

While this tool focuses on consumer tax reversal, knowing the net sales amount is helpful in calculating the cost of sales and gross margin, especially for bookkeeping and tax planning.
