❓ How to calculate taxes on Shopify

Knowing how to calculate taxes correctly is important if you’re running a business. This is especially true if you sell products online through a platform like Shopify. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through calculating taxes on Shopify so you can be sure you’re doing it right.

The first step is to determine which tax jurisdiction you’re in. This will usually be the state or province where your business is located. Once you know this, you can look up the tax rate that applies to your jurisdiction.

Next, you need to know the price of the product you’re selling before taxes. This is the base price that you’ll use to calculate the tax.

Once you have the tax rate and the base price, you can calculate the tax by multiplying the two together. So, if you’re selling a product for $100 with a tax rate of 10%, the tax would be $10.

Finally, you must add the tax to the base price to get the final product price. So, in our example, the product’s final price would be $110.

That’s all there is to it! By following these simple steps, you can be sure you’re correctly calculating the taxes on your Shopify products.
