What Sales Tax Means
Most US states charge sales tax on purchases. Rates range from 0% (five states) to over 10%. Unlike the price tag, sales tax is added at checkout. This calculator shows the real cost.
How to Use It
Enter the item price and pick your state. Tap Calculate. You'll see the tax amount and the total you'll actually pay. Try different states to compare — tax differences can be surprising.
What to Do Next
If you live near a state border, check the tax rate in both. Some people save money by shopping across state lines — especially for big purchases.
