Frequently asked questions
Which states have no sales tax?
Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no statewide sales tax. Alaska lets cities and boroughs charge their own, and some Montana resort areas charge a local resort tax.
Which state has the highest sales tax rate?
At the state level, Indiana, Mississippi, Rhode Island and Tennessee charge 7%. and California has the highest statewide base at 7.25%, because a 1.25% local tax applies everywhere on top of the 6% state rate. With local taxes, combined rates in some cities are higher still.
Which states have one rate with no local sales tax?
Connecticut, District of Columbia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Everywhere else, the rate depends on where the sale happens.
How do I calculate sales tax?
Multiply the price by the combined rate (state plus local). For a $100 item at 8%, the tax is $8 and the total is $108. To find the price before tax from a receipt, divide the total by 1 plus the rate: $108 ÷ 1.08 = $100.
