When you buy something online, there are often fees and taxes included. Each state has different rules for what is taxed, but the Internet automatically calculates these sales tax rates so that you don’t have to do any math. The online calculator is easy to use, but not all sales are charged with the same amount of tax. For example, if you pay $100 in a clothing store, and then buy another $100 worth of clothes on Amazon, then you would pay the same total amount of tax as if you bought them at the store-in this case 10%. However, if you buy a $500 laptop from Best Buy, then it would be taxed at 5%.
