Free Ohio Sales Tax Calculator

Our Ohio Sales Tax Calculator is designed to be simple and intuitive. Just follow these easy steps to calculate the sales tax for your purchase:

1. Enter Purchase Amount: Start by entering the total amount of your purchase in the “Purchase Amount ($)” field.

2. Select Location: You have two options to specify where you’re making the purchase:

   • ZIP Code: Choose your ZIP code from the “Select ZIP Code” dropdown menu. This is the most accurate way to find your local sales tax rate.
   • Tax Region: If you don’t know the exact ZIP code, you can select the broader tax region from the “Select Tax Region” dropdown.

3. Special Rate (Optional): Some areas in Ohio have special sales tax rates for specific purposes (e.g., transit, infrastructure). If you know a special rate applies to your purchase, check the “Apply Special Rate” box.

4. Calculate: Once you’ve entered the necessary information, click the “Calculate Tax” button.

5. View Results: The calculator will display a detailed breakdown of the sales tax, including:

   • State Tax
   • County Tax
   • City Tax
   • Special Tax (if applicable)
   • Total Tax
   • Total Cost (purchase amount + total tax)

Important Notes:

• You can use either the ZIP code or the tax region option, but not both at the same time. If you select a ZIP code, the tax region selection will be cleared automatically, and vice versa.
• The special rate checkbox is optional. If you’re unsure whether a special rate applies, it’s best to leave it unchecked.
