🤔 How Does This Tool Work?

This calculator uses the current 2026 state-level sales tax rate for each US state, sourced from published state tax data as of mid-2026.

Important: many states also allow cities and counties to add local sales tax on top of the state rate — in some states, local taxes add 4-5% more. This calculator shows the state rate only, since local rates vary by city, county, and even ZIP code. For an exact total, check your specific city/county rate or your final receipt.

Five states have no state-level sales tax at all: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon (Alaska still allows local sales taxes in some areas).
