Georgia Sales Tax Calculator 2026
Work out the sales tax and total on any purchase in Georgia for the 2026 tax year.
How sales tax works in Georgia
Georgia (GA) applies a statewide base sales-tax rate of 4%. Most cities and counties add a local sales tax on top, so the combined rate you actually pay is usually higher than the state base — enter your local rate in the calculator above for an exact figure. Categories such as groceries, prescription drugs, and clothing are treated differently from state to state; this estimate assumes a fully taxable purchase.
What to know about Georgia sales tax
- Georgia transitioned from a bracketed system to a single flat income-tax rate, with planned further reductions tied to revenue targets.
- The flat rate applies after Georgia’s own standard deduction and exemptions, not the federal ones.
- Local sales taxes (including special-purpose SPLOST levies) add substantially to the 4% state base.
