How it works
Sales tax = price x (state rate + local rate). The total price is the price plus that tax.
Worked example
A 100 item in California at 7.25 percent plus a 1.5 percent local rate costs 108.75.
Good to know
State rates are base rates. Local taxes, special districts and exempt items such as groceries change the real amount, so check your state revenue department.
