How to calculate New York sales tax

Multiply the price by the combined rate. At the 4% state rate, a $250.00 sale carries $10.00 of sales tax, for a total of $260.00. Add the county, city or district rate for the delivery address to get the full rate for that sale.

To find the tax inside a total that already includes it, divide the total by 1 plus the rate. A $107.00 receipt at 4% is $102.88 before tax and $4.12 of tax.

Local rates and where the rate comes from

The state rate in this calculator comes from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, checked October 27, 2026. Counties and cities add local rates, and a 0.375% surcharge applies in the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District. Local rates differ by address and can change during the year, so look up the rate for the delivery address on the state's site before you file.
