How the Utah sales tax calculation works

Utah's sales tax rate is 6.1%: $6.10 on a $100 sale and $61 on $1,000. This is the base rate only. If a city, county or district in Utah charges its own tax, it is added on top of this rate. Enter your price and any local rate to see the Utah sales tax and the total.

  1. Start with the 6.1% base rate

    Utah charges 6.1% on taxable sales. The 6.1% is the 4.85% state rate plus the 1% local and 0.25% county option taxes charged everywhere in Utah. Other local add-ons mean no Utah location charges less than 6.35%, and groceries have a 3% state rate.

  2. Add your local rate if there is one

    If a city, county or district in Utah charges its own tax, it is added on top of this rate. Enter that rate as the local tax; Utah's revenue department lists the rate for each address.

  3. Multiply the price by the rate

    Divide 6.1% by 100 and multiply: $100 × 0.061 = $6.10, and $250 × 0.061 = $15.25.

  4. Add the tax to the price

    A $250 item in Utah costs the buyer $265.25 at the base rate, before any local tax.

Worked example. A $250.00 sale in Utah at the 6.1% base rate carries $15.25 in sales tax, for a $265.25 total. If a 1% local tax applied on top, the combined rate would be 7.1% and the Utah buyer would pay $267.75.
