Delaware Sales Tax Calculator

Delaware has no sales tax — the sticker price is the price.

Delaware is one of the five states with no statewide sales tax — the sticker price is the checkout price. This calculator is pre-set to 0%, which makes it a comparison tool: enter another state's rate to see what the same purchase would cost there, or use "Remove tax" mode on receipts from trips to taxed states.

How it works

1. Delaware has no sales tax — the rate field starts at 0%.
2. Enter a price: the total equals the sticker price.
3. To compare with a taxed state, enter its rate instead.
4. Use "Remove tax" mode on receipts from taxed states you visit.

Common questions

What is the sales tax rate in Delaware?

Zero — Delaware levies no statewide sales tax. (Alaska allows local-option taxes in some municipalities, averaging under 2% where they exist.) This is why residents of taxed neighbors cross the border for big purchases.

Why is my receipt rate different from the pre-set rate?

This calculator uses the Delaware average combined rate. City and district taxes vary — sometimes by over a percentage point within the same metro area. Type the rate printed on your receipt into the rate field for exact results.

Is anything exempt from sales tax?

Most states exempt groceries, prescription drugs, or both, and many exempt clothing below a threshold. Exemption rules are state-specific — check your state revenue department's list for the categories you buy most.
