What is the NYC sales tax rate?
The combined New York City sales and use tax rate is 8.875% for most taxable purchases. That total combines New York City, New York State and the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District components.
A $100 taxable purchase therefore adds $8.88 in tax when rounded to the nearest cent, for an estimated total of $108.88.
What purchases are exempt?
Not every purchase is taxed the same way. NYC311 lists exemptions including many unprepared foods, medicines and qualifying clothing or footwear under $110 per item.
The calculator includes a simple clothing and footwear exemption toggle, but complicated purchases can involve product-specific rules that are outside the scope of a quick estimator.
Use the pre-tax price
Enter the advertised price before sales tax. If a receipt already includes tax, this calculator is not designed to reverse-calculate the original taxable subtotal.
