Frequently Asked Questions

The United States does not have a federal sales tax. Instead, rates are set at the state, county, and city levels. The average state-level sales tax is approximately 5% to 7%, but when combined with local surcharges, the total rate can exceed 10% in some jurisdictions.
There are five states with no statewide sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. However, some municipalities in Alaska may still apply local sales taxes at the city or borough level.
State sales tax is a baseline rate applied uniformly across an entire state. Local sales tax (city, county, or special district tax) is added on top of the state rate. For example, in New York, the state rate is 4%, but New York City adds an additional 4.875%, bringing the combined total to 8.875%.
Taxability varies significantly by state. Most states exempt or apply a reduced rate to "unprepared food" (groceries) and prescription medications. However, some states like Alabama and Mississippi still tax groceries at the full state rate.
To find the pre-tax price, divide the total amount paid by (1 + the tax rate as a decimal). For example, if you paid $107.00 with a 7% tax, calculate $107.00 / 1.07 to get the original price of $100.00.
Nexus is a legal connection between a business and a state that requires the business to collect and remit sales tax. This can be "Physical Nexus" (having an office or warehouse) or "Economic Nexus" (reaching a certain sales volume or transaction count in that state).
Yes. Since the 2018 Supreme Court ruling (South Dakota v. Wayfair), most states require online retailers to collect sales tax based on the buyer's delivery address, provided the retailer meets the state's economic nexus thresholds.
As of 2026, some of the highest combined sales tax rates (state + local) are found in parts of Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Washington, and Alabama, where total rates can reach or exceed 10% to 11% in specific cities.
Most US states primarily tax tangible personal property, but an increasing number of states are expanding their tax base to include services (like landscaping, dry cleaning, or digital services). States like Hawaii, New Mexico, and South Dakota tax almost all services.
The most accurate way is to use an official lookup tool from the state's Department of Revenue (DOR) or use our state-specific calculators, which provide the combined rates for major jurisdictions and direct links to official tax agency resources.
