Does your child know how much GST adds to a bill?

Tax calculation is a daily life skill. Abacus makes adding percentages to prices fast and accurate.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how abacus builds tax math fluency.

⚡ Quick answer: Tax = Price × Tax Rate. Total Price = Price × (1 + Tax Rate). For ₹800 at 5% GST: tax = ₹40, total = ₹840. Abacus shows adding 5 beads for every 100 (5% of ₹100 = ₹5). For 18% GST: break into 10% + 5% + 3%. Practice by: asking “What’s ₹500 + 12% GST?” “What’s the total after 28% tax on ₹200?” Tax math is essential for shopping, eating out, and understanding bills.

🧩 Why Tax Math Matters

Understanding tax helps children budget accurately, avoid surprises at checkout, and understand how government revenue works.

Adding tax beads — Add 18 beads to every 100 for 18% GST

🎯 How Abacus Teaches Tax Calculation

Find tax amount: 5% of ₹400 = ₹20 (10% = ₹40, half = ₹20). Add to price: ₹400 + ₹20 = ₹420. Direct total: 12% GST = multiply by 1.12. Practice: “₹600 + 5% GST.” “₹250 + 18% GST.” “₹1200 + 28% GST.”

💡 A Parent’s Example

“My son calculates the final bill including tax before we reach the counter. He knows 18% of ₹350 is ₹63, total ₹413. The cashier is always impressed.”

You might wonder, “What about CGST and SGST?” For simplicity, use total GST rate (e.g., 18% combined).
