US sales tax is uniquely complex - unlike VAT/GST, it is only collected at the point of final sale and rates vary by state, county, city, and special district. This tool covers all 50 states and DC with both the state rate and the average combined rate (state + local), based on Tax Foundation 2024–2025 data. Five states have no sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon (NOMAD states).

After South Dakota v. Wayfair (2018), online sellers must collect sales tax in states where they have economic nexus - typically $100K in sales or 200 transactions. Get it right to avoid penalties.
Five states have no state sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon (often remembered as NOMAD). However, Alaska allows local jurisdictions to levy their own sales tax.
