No. The United States has no federal sales tax. Sales tax is levied at the state and local level, which is why rates vary significantly by location — from 0% in states like Montana, Oregon and Delaware to over 10% in some Louisiana parishes.
Five states have no statewide sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. Note that Alaska and Montana allow local jurisdictions to impose their own sales taxes, so the combined rate may be above 0% in some cities.
Local sales tax rates are set by counties, cities and special taxing districts — they differ even within the same state. The local rate shown is the population-weighted average for the state (Tax Foundation methodology). Enter your exact local rate for a precise calculation.
No. Many states exempt certain goods such as groceries, prescription drugs, and clothing. Exemptions vary widely by state. This calculator computes the full combined rate on the amount entered — check your state tax authority's website for specific exemptions.
US sales tax is charged only at the final point of sale to the consumer, on the total price. VAT (used in Europe and many other countries) is charged at every stage of production and is built into prices. A key practical difference: US sales tax is usually shown separately at checkout, while VAT is typically included in the displayed price.
