How the US Sales Tax Calculator Works
The United States has no national sales tax. Each state sets its own state rate, and many cities and counties add a local rate on top. This calculator adds the two together and applies the combined rate to your price. Pick your state, check the local rate (it starts at the state average) and read off the tax and the total. Switch to Remove sales tax if the price already includes tax and you want the pre-tax amount.
Sales Tax Formulas
Tax = Price × Rate ÷ 100 | Total = Price + Tax
| Question | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Add tax | Price × (1 + Rate%) | 100 at 8.25% = 100 × 1.0825 = 108.25 |
| Tax amount | Price × Rate% | 100 × 0.0825 = 8.25 |
| Remove tax | Total ÷ (1 + Rate%) | 108.25 ÷ 1.0825 = 100.00 before tax |
| Combined rate | State rate + local rate | 6.25% + 2% = 8.25% |
Sales Tax Rate by State (July 2026)
State rates and the average local rate for each state, as published by the Tax Foundation for 1 July 2026. The combined column is the sum of the two. Your own rate depends on your city and county, so use the local rate box above for an exact figure.
