Franklin County Sales Tax Calculator 2026 – how it works
The Franklin County sales and use tax follows a flat-rate structure. Because Franklin County does not add a local sales or use tax, the applicable rate for taxable transactions in the county is the Pennsylvania state sales and use tax. A simplified estimate applies the single state rate to the taxable transaction amount, without any county-level add-on. Administration and statewide rules are handled by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (https://www.pa.gov/agencies/revenue/resources/tax-types-and-information/sales-use-and-hotel-occupancy-tax.html).
