Safe Harbor is a method of computing your sales tax based upon your income level. You need to look up the chart number and have the amount of State and Local Sales tax for your area. The Chart Numbers are on the IRS website. Just go to irs.gov and search Sales Tax and it will give you the chart based on what state you live in. Sales Tax is claimable instead of your State Income Tax withholdings amount but you can't claim both of them. It's one or the other.

The sales tax of 2.99 with the sales tax itself being 5.5% ... is just 2.99 x 0.055 so if you calculate that it is 0.164. Add the tax with the amount and it becomes 3.15.
You multiply the purchase price (without sales tax) by 13/100, that is, by 0.13.
You have to calculate 400,000 x 1.5 / 100. (Percent means hundredths; the idea is to calculate 1.5 hundredths of the amount.)
