Figures are 2026 statewide rates with average local add-ons; local rates vary by city and change over time.
The United States has no national sales tax. Instead, 45 states plus the District of Columbia levy their own statewide sales tax, and most also let local governments add their own — which is why the rate you pay can swing from zero to over 10% depending on the city. The five states with no statewide sales tax are Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon, although Alaska localities can still charge local sales taxes. At the other end, states like Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas combine a high state rate with heavy local taxes to top the combined-rate rankings.
The state rate is the flat percentage the state charges everywhere within its borders. The combined rate adds the average local city, county, and special-district taxes on top — and it's the number that actually hits your receipt. When you're comparing where to shop or where to register a business, the combined rate is the figure that matters, because a low state rate can be offset by high local taxes and vice versa.
To find the tax on a purchase, multiply the price by the combined rate as a decimal; to remove tax from a total, divide by one plus that rate. Open any state above for a city-level breakdown, or use the sales tax calculator to add or remove tax at any rate. Pair it with the discount calculator to get your true out-the-door price after a sale.
