To you pros out there this may sound stupid. If taxes are 8.160% what
formula would I use to get the exact amount. Not sure where to put the
decimal point.

Thanks

Move the decimal two spaces to the left:

$100*.0816, for example, equals $100 * 8.16%

This will give you the amount of tax to be applied to an amount in A1.
=A1*0.0816

This will give you the total amount including tax.
=A1+(A1*0.0816 )

No brainer to calculate the *tax*:

=100*8.16%
