How the math works
Total tax = price × (6.25% + local rate), rounded to the cent. State tax = price × 6.25%. Local tax = total tax − state tax, so the two parts always add up to the total.
Cities, counties, transit authorities and special districts can add up to 2% together, so the highest combined rate in Texas is 8.25%. Look up your exact local rate on the Texas Comptroller Sales Tax Rate Locator at gis.cpa.texas.gov/search and type it here.
The example is a $49.99 item at the full 2% local rate, which many Valley cities charge. This is for store sales. Car sales pay a separate 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax with no local tax added.
