What this tool can and cannot tell you

It estimates tax using a statewide or population-weighted average combined rate. It does not identify the exact rate for a ZIP code, street address, product category or filing situation. Verify a transaction with the relevant state or local tax authority.

Methodology and source policy

How US sales tax works

Most states charge a statewide sales tax, and cities, counties and special districts can add their own local taxes on top — so the combined rate you actually pay depends on the exact location. Five states (Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon, plus Alaska at the state level) have no statewide sales tax at all. The figures here are 2026 averages from the Tax Foundation; always confirm the current rate with the relevant state or local tax authority.
