Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there one US sales tax rate?
- No. Rates vary by state, county and city, and some states have no statewide sales tax. Use the combined rate for the place where the sale is taxed.
- Are all products taxed?
- No. Groceries, medicine, clothing and digital goods can be treated differently. The calculator applies the rate you enter; it does not decide taxability.
- Do online sellers always collect sales tax?
- Not always. It depends on nexus, state thresholds and marketplace rules. Ask the seller or check the state’s guidance.
