How sales tax works in Indiana

Indiana (IN) applies a statewide base sales-tax rate of 7%. 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 Indiana sales tax

  • Indiana applies a low flat state income-tax rate, but every county also levies its own local income tax on top.
  • Because of the county add-on, two Indiana residents with the same income can owe noticeably different total state-plus-local tax.
  • There are no local sales taxes — the 7% state rate is uniform statewide.
