To calculate sales tax you must:

1. Know the sales tax rate

2. Use the sales tax formula which is

Sales Tax = Total Sales X Sales Tax Rate

Example:

You have a business and you must collect a sales tax at a rate of 8.00%. Your customer bill before adding tax is $399.

Sales tax = $399 times 0.08

Sales tax would be $31.92.

$399 + $31.92 = $430.92 would be the total including sales tax.

It can be the replacement cost or net realizable value. We don't have an idea which one is the middle amount
