Hi, taking a look here

#

from the screenshot, it appears that there are four quantities of items.

The tax amount is inclusive not exclusive

I don't understand your question

#

3.5% of $600 is only $21 if you consider the tax exclusive

#

if you want the tax inclusive, then it's lower since it'd apply to a different amount

#

a 3.5% increase to $600 is $21 so $621 after incease
If $600 happened after a 3.5% increase when what you want to know is X in the formula X * 1.035 = 600 which is $579.71 before the increase or an increase of $20.29

@autumn zodiac did that solve your question/confusion?

Oh! OK! Now I understand the formula. My interpretation was wrong. I simply calculate 600 * 1.035 = $621, and doing 621 - 600 = $21, but this is wrong. Your last reply contains the good formula, I simply needed some time to realize it...Thank you!
