FAQ

How does U.S. sales tax differ from VAT?↓

Sales tax is added once at the point of final sale and varies by state, county, and city. VAT is collected at every stage of the supply chain. The calculator combines state, local, and special-district rates into one effective rate.

Where do I find the correct combined rate?↓

Enter the destination ZIP or pick a state preset. Combined rates change frequently — verify against your state's revenue department for the current period.

Are shipping and handling taxable?↓

Most states tax shipping when it is part of a taxable sale, but rules vary. Toggle the shipping field on or off to match your state's treatment.

How do I handle tax-exempt customers?↓

For resellers or qualifying nonprofits with a valid exemption certificate, set the rate to 0 and keep the certificate on file. The calculator output then equals the pre-tax subtotal.
