US sales tax is charged at two levels: a statewide rate set by the state, plus local rates added by cities, counties and special districts. The combined rate you actually pay at the register is the sum of the two, so two towns in the same state can charge noticeably different amounts. This chart shows each state's statewide rate alongside a population-weighted average local rate and the combined average, so you can compare states fairly.
Rates range from 0% in the five states with no statewide sales tax to combined averages near 9–10% in states like Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas. To calculate the exact tax on a purchase, use our sales tax calculator; for international value-added tax, see the VAT calculator and GST calculator.
The United States uses sales tax; most other countries use a value-added tax (VAT) or goods-and-services tax (GST) built into the shelf price. The UK charges 20% VAT, the UAE 5% VAT, Australia 10% GST, and Canada a mix of GST/HST/PST by province. This page covers US state sales tax only — shoppers and sellers elsewhere can use our VAT and GST tools for their own rates.
