How it's calculated

Tax = price × rate. The state rate is the statewide base rate; the "average local" figure is the Tax Foundation's population-weighted average of county and city sales taxes in that state, so the combined rate is a typical figure, not your exact rate. Your city or county may be higher or lower — enter your exact combined rate (shown on any store receipt or your state revenue department's lookup tool) for a precise total. Many states exempt or reduce tax on groceries, prescription drugs and clothing. Alaska has no state sales tax but allows local sales taxes.
