How it’s calculated
Each rate comes from the state’s own tax agency, linked in the table. It is the general rate on most retail sales of goods. Many states tax groceries, medicine, vehicles or some services at other rates, and the notes list the ones the agency page states.
In most states, cities, counties and special districts add their own rate, so the rate a buyer pays depends on the address. Use the state agency’s address lookup for the exact combined rate. Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon have no statewide sales tax.
Worked example
A $100 purchase in Texas at the 6.25% state rate plus a 2% local rate is taxed at 8.25%: $8.25 in tax and $108.25 in total. The highest statewide rates are California (7.25%), Indiana (7%), Mississippi (7%).
