    Montana has no general sales tax, though some resort areas charge a local resort tax.

  2. Check for a local tax

    Where a city, borough or resort area charges its own tax, enter that rate as the local tax.

  3. Total = price + any other tax

    With no other tax, a buyer in Montana pays the shelf price.
