Rates vary by state, county and city, and some states tax labour differently from materials. Use the rate your own filing actually uses.

Questions people ask

What rate should I use?

The combined rate that applies where the work is done — state plus any county and city rate. Your own filing will tell you.

Is labour taxable?

It depends on the state, and in several states it depends on the type of work. Check your state's guidance rather than assuming.

How does the reverse calculation work?

It divides the total by one plus the rate to get back to the pre-tax figure, rather than taking a percentage off the total — which would be wrong.
