Texas Sales Tax Calculator 2025 — 6.25% State Rate

Texas Sales Tax Calculator 2025

Texas levies a statewide base sales tax rate of 6.25% as of 2025. This calculator adds tax to a pre-tax price or works in reverse to pull tax out of an inclusive total — useful for shoppers, sellers quoting prices, and anyone reconciling Texas receipts.

How it works

The tool applies a percentage in either direction:

Add tax:    total = price × (1 + rate/100),   tax = price × rate/100
Remove tax: price = total ÷ (1 + rate/100),   tax = total − price

The rate field defaults to the 6.25% Texas state base rate and is editable — local taxing units (cities, counties, transit and special districts) can add up to 2%, so set the field to your area’s combined rate (up to 8.25%) for a local figure. Everything runs locally with no data transmitted.

Example

On a $100 pre-tax purchase at the 6.25% state rate: tax = 100 × 0.0625 = $6.25, so the total is $106.25. Reversing a $106.25 inclusive total gives 106.25 ÷ 1.0625 = $100.00 pre-tax.

Pre-tax price	Tax at 6.25%	Total
$20	$1.25	$21.25
$50	$3.13	$53.13
$100	$6.25	$106.25

Note: combined local rates can reach 8.25%. Verify your local rate before relying on the state-only figure.
