 * Hi budies,
 * I am with the last steps of my web, but I have detected **Tax error calculations**
   as you can see on the linked page, if you order one “jamón serrano 7.5-8kg” and“
   entero” that costs 61€, the reduced tax that is 10%, takes the value of 5,55€
   instead of 6,1€…
 * I tried disabling Jetpack because some posts talk about interferences on tax 
   calculations.. but without success.
 * Some help please?
 * Thanks in advance!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftax-calculation-error-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I think there is confusion here about how are taxes calculated, and what settings
   to configure.
 * I’m assuming that you have selected to enter prices inclusive of tax, and configured
   a tax rate of 10%. For those settings, if you entered the price inclusive of 
   tax as 61.00, 5.55 would indeed correspond to a 10% tax of the price exclusive
   of tax.
 *     ```
       55.55 * .10 = 5.55
       55.55 + 5.55 = 61.00
       ```
   
 * In the above example, 55.55 is the price exclusive of tax, and the 10% of that
   is `5.55`. When added together, the total is `61.00`
 * If you want tax to be `6.10` on top of the price of `61.00`, then in the tax 
   settings you’ll have to select the option to enter prices **exclusive of tax**.
   With that setting you would charge customers `61.00` for the product, plus `6.10`
   tax, for a total of **67.10**.
 * I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions!
