Why We Built This Tool
The idea for this calculator came from a common frustration: receipts show final prices including tax, but many situations require knowing the pre-tax amount. Whether for accounting, budgeting, expense reporting, or tax compliance, people needed a simple way to work backwards from the total price.
While the math isn't complicated, doing it repeatedly is time-consuming and error-prone. We wanted to create a solution that's fast, reliable, and accessible to anyone who needs it.

How It Works
Our calculator uses the standard reverse sales tax formula:
Original Price = Final Price รท (1 + Tax Rate/100)
This mathematical approach ensures accurate results by dividing your final price (including tax) by one plus the decimal tax rate. The result is the original pre-tax amount, from which we can also calculate the exact tax paid.
