The five states with no statewide sales tax are New Hampshire, Oregon, Montana, Alaska and Delaware — NOMAD. Alaska is the exception that still taxes: it has no state rate but its boroughs and cities do.

Why there is no single US sales tax rate
The US has no national sales tax. Rates are set by states, then again by counties, cities and special districts stacked on top — well over 11,000 distinct taxing jurisdictions. Two addresses on opposite sides of the same street can owe different amounts.
That is why this tool shows a state rate and an average local rate separately. The state rate is exact. The local figure is a population-weighted average, so it tells you roughly what a typical buyer in that state pays, but it is not the rate at any specific address. For filing you need the rate for the actual delivery location.
Five states have no statewide sales tax at all, remembered as NOMAD: New Hampshire, Oregon, Montana, Alaska and Delaware. Alaska is the odd one out — no state rate, but boroughs and cities levy their own, so an Alaskan purchase is often taxed anyway.
The extremes are further apart than people expect. Colorado's state rate is just 2.9% but average local tax pushes the typical combined rate near 8%. Louisiana combines to over 10%, the highest in the country. California has the highest state-level rate at 7.25% and comparatively modest local additions.

Frequently asked questions
Which states have no sales tax?
New Hampshire, Oregon, Montana, Alaska and Delaware — the NOMAD states. Alaska is a partial exception: it has no statewide rate but local boroughs and cities charge their own, averaging around 1.8%.
Which state has the highest sales tax?
By combined state and average local rate, Louisiana is highest at over 10%. By state rate alone it is California at 7.25%. Tennessee, Arkansas, Washington and Alabama all sit near the top on a combined basis.
How do I calculate sales tax backwards from a total?
Divide the total by 1 plus the rate as a decimal. At 8.25%, a $108.25 total is $100 before tax. Subtracting 8.25% from the total gives $99.32, which is wrong — the same trap as reverse VAT.
Is the local rate shown here exact?
No, and it is important not to treat it as such. Local sales tax is set at city and district level, so the figure here is a population-weighted state average for estimation. For filing or invoicing, look up the rate for the specific delivery address.
Do I charge sales tax on out-of-state sales?
Often yes. Since the 2018 Wayfair decision, states can require remote sellers to collect tax once they pass an economic nexus threshold, commonly $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions into that state per year. Thresholds vary, so check each state you sell into.
