Use Exhibit 18-1 to determine the amount of sales tax at 6½ percent with a retail price of $9.99.

From Exhibit 18-1, sales tax on $9.99 is found by locating the row 9.85-10.09 on the chart.

The amount of the tax is listed as $.65

STEPS

STEP 1 Calculate the sales tax by multiplying the selling price of the good or service by the sales tax rate.

Sales tax = Selling price × Sales tax rate

STEP 2 Compute the total purchase price by adding the selling price, the sales tax, and any other additional charges.

Total purchase price = Selling price + Sales tax + Other charges

Helena purchased a refrigerator for $899.90. The delivery charge was $20 and the ice maker hookup fee amounted to $55. The state sales tax rate is 6½% and the city tax is 1.3%. Calculate the total amount of sale tax and the total purchase price.

Sales tax = Selling price × Sales tax rate

Total purchase price =Selling price + Sales tax + Other charges

Sales tax = 899.90 × (.065 + .013) = $70.19

Total purchase price = 899.90 + 70.19 + 20.00 + 55.00 =$1,045.09

STEP 1 When expressed as a percent: Multiply the selling price of an item by the excise tax rate.

Excise tax = Selling price × Excise tax rate

When expressed as a fixed amount per unit: Multiply the number of units by the excise tax per unit.

Excise tax = Number of units × Excise tax per unit

STEP 2 Calculate the total purchase price by adding the selling price plus sales tax plus excise tax.

Total purchase price = Selling price + Sales tax + Excise tax

A hunting bow at a sporting goods store in Cincinnati, Ohio, retails for $129.95. Ohio sales tax is 5% and the federal excise tax on the item is 11%. What is the amount of each tax, and what is the total purchase price?

Sales tax = Selling price x Sales tax rate

Excise tax = Selling price x Excise tax rate

Total purchase price = Selling price + Sales tax + Excise tax

Sales tax = 129.95 x .05 = $6.50

Excise tax = 129.95 x .11 = $14.29

Total purchase price = 129.95 + 6.50 + 14.29 = $150.74

• Per $100 of assessed value:• Example: $3.50 per $100

• Per $1,000 of assessed value:• Example: $35.00 per $1,000

• Mills (one one-thousandth of a dollar):• Example: 35 mills

Tax rate per dollar (decimal form) =

Round your answer to ten-thousandths (four decimal places). In most states, the rounding is always up, even if the next digit is less than 5.

STEP 2 To convert tax rate per dollar to:

• percent, move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percent sign.

• tax rate per $100, multiply by $100.• tax rate per $1,000, multiply by $1,000.• mills, divide by .001.

STEP 1 Determine total income by adding all sources of taxable income.

STEP 2 Calculate adjusted gross income by subtracting the sum of all adjustments to income from total income.

STEP 3 Subtract the sum of the itemized deductions or the standard deduction (whichever is larger) from the adjusted gross income.

Dimitri purchased an oven for $779.99. The delivery charge was $69. The state sales tax rate is 6½% and the city tax is 1.4%. Calculate the total amount of sale tax and the total purchase price.

Sales tax = Selling price × Sales tax rate

Total purchase price =Selling price + Sales tax + Other charges

Sales tax = 779.99 × (.065 + .014) = $61.62

Total purchase price =

779.99 + 61.62 + 69.00 = $910.61

Isabelle’s home has a market value of $238,000. The assessment rate in the county is 65% and the tax rate is 1.944%. What is the assessed value of the home and the amount of the property tax?

Assessed value = Purchase price x Assessment rate

Property tax = Assessed value x Tax rate

Assessed value = 238,000 x .65 = $154,700

Property tax = 154,700 x .01944 = $3,007.37
