Extract the pre-tax price and tax amount from any Utah total using the 2026 7.06% rate.
$250.00 ÷ 1.0706. This reveals an original price of $233.51 and a tax portion of $16.49.In Utah, the combined rate of 7.06% is built on top of the base price. When you see a total on a receipt, that total represents 100% of the price plus 7.06% tax (totaling 107.06%). By using the reverse formula, you can isolate exactly how much of your Utah purchase was actual inventory cost versus tax liability.
Accurate extraction is vital for Utah businesses when reconciling daily deposits. Since your bank deposits include collected tax, you must 'back out' the tax to determine your true gross receipts for income reporting and sales tax remittance.
