Assumptions in this estimate
- Businesses collect sales tax in a state once they have a physical presence there or pass its economic nexus threshold, often $100,000 of sales a year.
- Local rates are population-weighted averages for each state. Your city or county may charge more or less: enter your own local rate under More options.
- Alaska has no state sales tax, but many towns and boroughs charge their own. Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no general sales tax.
