Planning estimate only — not tax, legal, or CPA advice. Rates are approximate combined state averages (table updated 2025-01-01). Local jurisdictions, product taxability, and nexus rules can change what you owe. Confirm before charging customers or filing.

How to use

Select a state, enter the taxable amount, and review the estimated tax and total. The table is a dated snapshot of commonly cited statewide rates for quick planning.

Real filings depend on nexus, local jurisdictions, product taxability, and marketplace facilitator rules. Confirm with a tax professional or your automated tax app before charging customers.

How the numbers work

  • Tax ≈ amount × state rate from the static Merqly table.
  • Total ≈ amount + tax.
  • Table includes an `updated` date string for transparency.
  • Local city/county rates are not fully modeled unless noted.
  • Not legal, CPA, or official DOR advice.

FAQ

Does this include city and district taxes?

Defaults focus on statewide headline rates. Many addresses owe additional local tax — verify with a rate lookup service.

What about marketplace-collected tax?

Facilitator platforms may collect for you. This estimator still helps when you sell on your own checkout or need a ballpark.

Is Merqly a tax filer?

No. We do not file returns or remit tax. Use your accountant or compliance software for filings.

Estimates only. Fees and tax rules change. Merqly is not affiliated with the marketplaces or carriers named here, and this is not official fee, tax, or legal advice.
