How to calculate Virginia sales tax
Multiply the price by the combined rate. At the 5.3% statewide rate, a $250.00 sale carries $13.25 of sales tax, for a total of $263.25. Add the county, city or district rate for the delivery address to get the full rate for that sale.
To find the tax inside a total that already includes it, divide the total by 1 plus the rate. A $107.00 receipt at 5.3% is $101.61 before tax and $5.39 of tax.
