minus-squarefinalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·4 days agoTax rates are variable by location and may not be ~10% in some places. A more accurate way is just to divide the subtotal by ten (move the decimal one place to the left) and double it. This gives you the actual 20% value.
