Formula

Tax Amount = Pre-Tax Price x (Tax Rate / 100)

Pennsylvania has a statewide sales tax. Some counties add a local sales and use tax on top of the state rate.

Worked Example

Pre-tax price $90 with a 6.34% combined rate gives about $5.71 tax and $95.71 total. Adjust if your county uses a different local add-on.
