Where:

Tax Rate - The applicable sales tax rate based on your location.

The tax rate is determined by your location and can vary. For example, in the United States, sales tax rates range from 0% to 10.75%, depending on the state. In the United Kingdom, the standard VAT rate is 20%.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the calculator works. Suppose you want to buy a Valorant account valued at $50. The marketplace charges an additional fee of $5, and you're located in California, where the sales tax rate is 7.25%.

Using the formula:

Total Cost = $50 + $5 + ($50 × 0.0725) Total Cost = $50 + $5 + $3.625 Total Cost = $58.625

The total estimated cost of purchasing this Valorant account is $58.63.
