Sales tax rates vary by state, city, and product category, making it important to calculate accurately for budgeting and pricing.
Sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by state and local governments on the sale of goods and services. It's typically calculated as a percentage of the purchase price and is added at the point of sale.
Unlike GST (Goods and Services Tax), which is used in many countries around the world, sales tax is primarily a U.S. concept. Each state can set its own sales tax rate, and local governments can add additional taxes on top of the state rate.
While both are consumption taxes, there are key differences:
Using our Sales Tax Calculator is simple:
Formula:
Sales Tax Amount = Pre-tax Price × (Tax Rate ÷ 100)
Total Price = Pre-tax Price + Sales Tax Amount
Example:
Pre-tax price: $100
Sales tax rate: 8%
Tax amount: $100 × 0.08 = $8
Total: $100 + $8 = $108
Formula:
Pre-tax Price = Total Price ÷ (1 + Tax Rate ÷ 100)
Example:
Total price: $108
Sales tax rate: 8%
Pre-tax price: $108 ÷ 1.08 = $100
Tax paid: $108 - $100 = $8
Sales tax rates vary significantly across the United States:
Many states also charge additional local sales taxes, so total rates can range from 4% to over 10% depending on location.
