The tax rounds half up to the cent. A seller’s own rounding rules and any items taxed at other rates can change the final charge.
Utah Code 59-12-103 also adds a supplemental state sales tax under Part 20 of that chapter when the transaction is in a city, town or unincorporated county area where the state imposes it. This calculator includes only the 4.85%; check the Utah State Tax Commission for the supplemental tax at your location.

Worked example
A $200.00 purchase at the 4.85% state rate: $200.00 × 4.85% = $9.70 of state tax, so the total is $200.00 + $9.70 = $209.70 before any local tax. To work backward from a total that includes tax, divide it by 1 plus the combined rate.
