U.S. Sales Tax Calculator
Find the sales tax and total price for a purchase. Enter the combined state and local rate shown for your city or checkout location.
The prefilled 8.875% is only an example rate. Replace it with the combined state and local rate for your location.
Use your local combined rate
Many U.S. locations add county, city or district sales tax to the state rate. Enter the combined rate for the store or delivery address to estimate the tax. This calculator does not guess your location or maintain a state-rate table.
Formula: sales tax = price × rate ÷ 100. Total = price + sales tax. Some goods and services have different tax rules, and tax may be rounded differently at checkout.
For the exact amount, check the retailer checkout or your state and local tax authority. Your price and rate are calculated on this device.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to enter a rate?
Sales-tax rates can vary by city, county, product and delivery address. Entering the combined rate avoids showing a misleading statewide estimate.
Does this find my ZIP-code tax rate?
No. It does not request or store a ZIP code. Use the rate shown by the retailer or official local tax source.
