This free sales tax calculator helps shoppers and small sellers estimate U.S. sales tax from a pre-tax price and state—then breaks out statewide vs average local pieces so the total is easy to check.
How to calculate sales tax
Use the combined rate as a decimal: tax = amount × rate, then total = amount + tax. Example with California’s mid-2026 average combined rate of 9.03%: $100 × 0.0903 = $9.03 tax and a $109.03 total. State portion at 7.25% is $7.25; average local 1.78% is $1.78.
Need the opposite direction? Open the reverse sales tax calculator when you only know the register total.

FAQ
How do I calculate sales tax?
Multiply the pre-tax price by the combined rate (percent ÷ 100). Add that tax to the pre-tax price for the total due at checkout.
Does every state charge sales tax?
Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon have no statewide sales tax. Alaska has local-only sales taxes in many places. Everywhere else (plus D.C.) has a statewide rate; most also allow local add-ons.
What is a reverse sales tax calculator?
It solves for the pre-tax price when you already paid tax: pretax = total ÷ (1 + rate). Use our reverse tool.
Are ZIP results exact?
Optional ZIP/city fields can apply a sample city rate when we have one. District taxes still vary by address—treat results as planning estimates.
Do you store my numbers?
No. Calculation runs in your browser. We do not save amounts, cities, or ZIP codes on a server.
