How US sales tax works

There is no national US sales tax. Each state sets its own rate, and counties and cities often add local taxes on top — so the combined rate you actually pay varies by location, even within the same state. Five states (Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon) have no statewide sales tax. Pick your state above for its current rate, a worked example, and a calculator to add or remove tax at your exact local rate.
