About Tax Rate Center
TaxRateCenter.com is a free reference for United States sales tax. We show the sales tax rate for a ZIP code, city or state, broken down into the state, county, city and special district parts that add up to the rate charged at the register, and we offer simple calculators to add, remove or reverse sales tax on any amount.
Sales tax in the US is set by thousands of separate jurisdictions. Two addresses in the same ZIP code can pay different rates, and rates change several times a year. Our goal is to make those rates easy to find and easy to understand for shoppers, small business owners, freelancers and anyone checking a receipt.
What We Provide
- Sales Tax Calculator: Enter a purchase price and a ZIP code or city to see the tax amount and the total.
- Rate Breakdown: Each result lists the state, county, city and special district rates, the combined rate, its effective date and its source.
- Reverse and Add / Remove Calculators: Find the rate from a receipt, or add or remove tax at a rate you already know.
- Rates by State, City and ZIP Code: Reference pages for each location.
- Guides & Articles: Plain-English explanations of sales tax basics, local jurisdictions and exemptions.
Data Sources & Accuracy
Rates on TaxRateCenter.com are compiled from official publications of state departments of revenue and other public rate files. Every rate we show carries its effective date and source so you can check it against the original.
Sales tax can also depend on the exact street address, the type of product or service, and whether the buyer or item is exempt. A ZIP code or city lookup is a starting point, not a final answer. Before you file a return, collect tax from customers or make a business decision, confirm the rate with the state department of revenue or a qualified tax professional.
