How sales tax is calculated
Sales tax in the US is set by each state and often added to by counties and cities, so the total you pay depends on where you buy. To add sales tax to a price, multiply by (1 + the combined rate); to remove it from a total, divide by (1 + the combined rate). Example: a $100 purchase in Texas at a 6.25% state rate plus a 1.95% average local rate (8.20% combined) costs $108.20 in total. Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no statewide sales tax. The table uses the state rates and the average local rates published by the Tax Foundation for mid-2026; your exact local rate may differ, so edit the local rate above if you know it.
