Franklin County Sales Tax Calculator 2026 – how it works
Franklin County imposes a county-level sales and use tax that applies in addition to the Texas state sales and use tax. Under the Franklin County sales and use tax system, the combined rate is formed by adding the Texas state sales and use tax and the Franklin County sales and use tax. This is a flat-rate structure in which the same percentage applies to the taxable amount, and the estimated tax is calculated by applying the combined rate to that amount. Administration and published guidance for Texas sales and use tax are provided by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
Examples
Because the Franklin County sales and use tax is flat-rate based, the estimated tax is calculated by applying the combined rate to the taxable amount. The combined rate reflects the Texas state sales and use tax plus the Franklin County sales and use tax. The resulting estimate represents the combined state and county sales and use tax for a transaction in Franklin County, expressed as a single percentage applied to the taxable amount.
Limitations and important notes
Results are simplified estimates and may not match the amount ultimately collected or remitted. This estimate reflects only the components listed here: Texas state sales and use tax and Franklin County sales and use tax. It does not account for differences that can arise from transaction-specific taxability determinations, sourcing rules, rounding practices, or documentation requirements under Texas sales and use tax law. For authoritative treatment of specific situations, official guidance should be consulted.

What taxes are included in the Franklin County sales and use tax estimate?
The estimate includes only the components explicitly listed for the Franklin County sales and use tax system: the Texas state sales and use tax and the Franklin County sales and use tax. These components are combined as part of the state and local sales and use tax system administered under Texas law. No other tax components are included in this estimate.
Is the Franklin County sales and use tax calculated with a flat rate?
Yes. The Franklin County sales and use tax estimate is based on a flat-rate structure. The combined rate is formed by adding the Texas state sales and use tax and the Franklin County sales and use tax, and that combined percentage is applied uniformly to the taxable amount.
Why might an estimated amount differ from the tax collected on a transaction?
An estimate can differ from the amount collected because real-world sales and use tax outcomes can depend on transaction-specific determinations under Texas sales and use tax law, including taxability, sourcing, and rounding practices. The estimate here is a simplified calculation based only on the stated state and county components.
Does this estimate include taxes beyond the Texas state and Franklin County rates listed?
No. The estimate is limited to the Texas state sales and use tax and the Franklin County sales and use tax. It does not incorporate any other taxes or additional local components not explicitly stated.
What is the difference between sales tax and use tax in this context?
In this context, “sales and use tax” refers to the Texas state sales and use tax together with the Franklin County sales and use tax as components of the combined system. The estimate treats the applicable tax as a flat percentage applied to the taxable amount using the combined rate.
