As you can see the first 2 tax rates are correct but the Texas State Tax is 6.25% and 6.25% of $42.00 is $2.625 or $2.63. Why is it coming up $0.03 more than it should? I am constantly having tax rate issues. It either doesn’t round up as it should or it charges too much.
Topic summary

Context: Calculation should round to the nearest cent ($2.625 → $2.63), but the observed total suggests a different rounding or computation method.

Open questions: Why is the tax $0.03 higher than the expected $2.63? Is rounding being applied per line, at subtotal, or influenced by hidden fees or settings? Discussion remains unresolved with no action items recorded.
