Build a Sales Tax Calculator Shortcut for iPhone

Whether you're shopping across state lines, filing an expense report, or running a small business, calculating sales tax quickly and accurately matters. A sales tax calculator shortcut for iPhone does the maths instantly — enter the price and the tax rate (or your zip code) and get the total in seconds. No app, no browser tab, just a quick calculation whenever you need it.

Enter the pre-tax price and either a percentage rate or your US zip code. The shortcut calculates the tax amount and the final total, displaying both clearly.
