How the New York Sales Tax Calculator works

New York's state rate is only 4%, among the lowest in the country, but county and city taxes take most addresses past 8%. New York City reaches 8.875%, and the state's nexus rule is unusual in requiring both a sales figure and a transaction count.

Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the New York sales tax rate?

4% state plus local county and city taxes, typically bringing the combined rate to between 7% and 8.875%. New York City is 8.875%, which includes a Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District surcharge.

Is clothing taxable in New York?

Clothing and footwear under $110 per item are exempt from the state portion, and from local tax in some jurisdictions but not others. It is one of the more intricate exemptions in US sales tax.

What is the nexus threshold?

More than $500,000 in sales into New York and more than 100 transactions in the preceding four quarters — both tests, not either. That makes it narrower than almost every other state.

Is shipping taxable?

Yes, when the goods are taxable. Delivery charges are part of the taxable receipt in New York regardless of how they are stated.
