Sales tax
How it works
Sales tax in the U.S. is set by states and then stacked with county, city and special-district rates. The combined rate is what you pay at the register, which is why the same purchase can cost different amounts a few miles apart.
Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no statewide sales tax, though some local governments (notably in Alaska) charge their own.
Sales tax rates in every state
2026 midyear state rate plus the population-weighted average local rate. Your exact rate depends on the city and county where you buy.
