Texas Sales Tax Calculator
6.25% state with local capped at 2%.
Rates change with budgets and local ballot measures, and the rate that applies depends on the delivery address and product category. Treat these as planning figures, not as a filing.
Total with tax
$108.20
$8.20 of tax at 8.2%
Texas caps local add-ons at 2%, so the combined rate never exceeds 8.25%. Remote sellers may elect a single local use tax rate rather than tracking every jurisdiction.
How the Texas Sales Tax Calculator works
Texas caps local sales tax at 2%, so no address in the state exceeds 8.25% — unusual predictability by US standards. Texas is also one of the few origin-sourced states for sales within the state, meaning the seller's location sets the rate rather than the customer's.
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 Texas sales tax rate?
6.25% state, plus local taxes capped at 2%, so the maximum combined rate is 8.25%. Most urban addresses are at the cap.
Is Texas origin or destination sourced?
Origin-sourced for sales within Texas — the rate follows the seller's place of business. Sales shipped into Texas from out of state are destination-sourced, and remote sellers may elect a single 1.75% local rate instead of tracking jurisdictions.
Is shipping taxable in Texas?
Yes. Delivery and handling charges are part of the taxable sales price when the goods themselves are taxable, whether or not separately stated.
What is the nexus threshold?
$500,000 of Texas revenue in the preceding twelve calendar months, with no transaction count.
