Appendix A: Calculating State Tax Table Codes
116 Alpha 583cx User’s Guide
• The Number 1 - The programming mode for a tax table is 1. When
programming any tax table code this number does not change.
For example: If the base tax is .12 cents: Type 121, then press Tax 2.
The display shows 1.21.
Using The Worksheet, complete Step A.
4 For the following, see the Example Tax Chart, Step D:
The second number to be programmed is a six digit number. Follow the
instructions and examples below to determine your six digit number. In
PRG position, type the six digit number and then press the Tax 2 key.
Example: 4% State Tax Table:
• (1) First determine the multiplier
1
. The multiplier is the number which
when multiplied by the percentage rate equals a whole number as
close as possible to the number 100 and still remaining a 2 digit
number. In the example above, the multiplier is 24. The number 4 (the
percentage rate) is multiplied by 24 to determine the number 96 which
is the last two digits of the 6 digit number to be programmed: (24 x 4 =
96).
• (2) The first four digits of the 6 digit number (2400) are determined by
multiplying the number 24 by 100 (24 x 100 = 2400). The final
resulting 6 digit number to be programmed is 240096.
Using The Worksheet, complete Step D.
5 For the following, see the Example Tax Chart, Step E:
• In PRG position, type the individual breakpoints of the Irregular
breakpoint pattern and press the Tax 2 key after each breakpoint. Place
the number 10 before the last breakpoint entry.

programmed is 240096
1. The easiest way to determine the multiplier is to divide the number 100 by the
percentage rate until the result is a whole number as close to 100 as possible and still
remaining a 2 digit number.
