Tax Function Cost Calculator

How Much Is It Costing You Per Transaction?
Many companies can generally estimate how much they're spending on their current use tax function, but often those estimates leave out some of the less obvious and more expensive costs, such as IT infrastructure. As such, we believe the calculator below can help any organization determine the true cost of compliance that should be added to each purchasing event.

Use of our calculator is quite simple--just enter all applicable values into the corresponding fields, using the Tab button on your keyboard to navigate from field to field. [Note: The "Total" fields, marked in yellow, will automatically calculate when you press the "Calculate" button located at the bottom of the page.]
