Sales Tax Calculator

Add local sales tax to a price to find the final total you'll pay at checkout.

Why the right rate usually isn't just the state rate

Combined sales tax is typically state + county + city (and sometimes a special district) layered together, which is why two cities in the same state can have noticeably different totals. Use your actual combined local rate for an accurate result, not just the state's base rate.

What's often exempt, depending on where you are

Many jurisdictions exempt groceries, prescription drugs, or clothing under a certain price entirely. This tool applies your entered rate uniformly, so check local exemptions if you're pricing an item in one of those categories.
