Step 4: Insert Description, Price, and Tax Amount of the Purchased Items

  • We will now create a table that we will use to enter the description, tax amount, and price of every product that a customer will purchase. The image below shows the table that we will use to enter the information of the purchased product.

Insert Description, Price, and Tax Amount of the Purchased Items

  • Now we will calculate the final amount to be paid by the customer. In cell F33, we will sum the prices of all the products. We will call it subtotal. The formula for this will be like below:
=SUM(F17:F32)
  • In the next cell (F34), we will sum up the price of the taxable products. If a product is taxable, we will put an “X” in the Taxed column of our table. We will write down the below formula, to sum up, the prices of taxable products.
=SUMIF(E17:E32,"=x",F17:F32)

This formula will add the amounts in the F17:F32 range that have corresponding “X” in the E17:E32 range.

  • After that, we will enter the tax rate in the following cell (F35).
  • Now, we will calculate the total tax amount in cell F36. The formula for this will be:
=ROUND(F34*F35,2)

We will multiply the total taxable amount (F34) with the tax rate (F35) and round the result to 2 decimal points.

  • Following that, we will now insert the shipping cost and discount amount if we have such amounts in cells F37 and F38.
  • Lastly, we will calculate the total amount to be paid by the customer. We will enter the following formula in cell F39:
=F33+F36+F37-F38
