FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the sales tax calculator (usa) answered.
Which US states have no sales tax?+
Five states have no state-level sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. However, Alaska allows local municipalities to charge sales tax, so rates can vary within the state. Delaware and New Hampshire have no sales tax at any level.
Is US sales tax the same everywhere in a state?+
No. State sales tax is a base rate, but counties, cities, and special districts can add additional local taxes on top. California's state rate is 7.25% but Los Angeles adds 2.25% making the total 9.5%. New York City has a total of 8.875% combining state and city taxes. Always check the combined rate for your specific city.
Do I pay sales tax on online purchases?+
Yes. Since the 2018 South Dakota v. Wayfair Supreme Court decision, online retailers must collect sales tax in states where they have significant sales volume, even without physical presence. Most major online retailers now collect sales tax in all states that have it.
