Sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by state and local governments on the sale of goods and services. The rate varies by state and often includes both a state rate and local rates that vary by city or county. Sales tax is typically collected at the point of sale and remitted to the taxing authority.

Do local rates apply?

Many states allow cities and counties to impose additional local sales tax on top of the state rate. This calculator uses the state rate as a baseline. For accurate calculations including local rates, check with your local tax authority or use location-specific calculators.
