How Sales Tax Works
Sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services. In the United States, sales tax is levied at the state level, and often at the local (county/city) level as well.
State vs. Local Rates
Usually, a purchase is subject to a base state tax rate plus an additional local tax rate depending on the specific location of the store or delivery address. This calculator provides the state rate and the average local rate to give you a realistic estimate.
