Worked Examples

Example 1: Vehicle in Davidson County

Vehicle Price: $25,000

State Sales Tax: $25,000 × 6.75% = $1,687.50

Local Sales Tax (Davidson County): $25,000 × 2.5% = $625.00

Total Sales Tax: $1,687.50 + $625.00 = $2,312.50

Final Price: $25,000 + $2,312.50 = $27,312.50

Example 2: Vehicle in Shelby County

Vehicle Price: $30,000

State Sales Tax: $30,000 × 6.75% = $2,025.00

Local Sales Tax (Shelby County): $30,000 × 2.5% = $750.00

Total Sales Tax: $2,025.00 + $750.00 = $2,775.00

Final Price: $30,000 + $2,775.00 = $32,775.00
