Indiana Sales Tax Calculator 2026 – how it works
Indiana’s sales tax is imposed under the State gross retail tax and is commonly referred to as sales tax. The tax is calculated as a flat-rate percentage of the retail transaction amount at the statewide rate of 7.00%. Because Indiana’s system is statewide and does not include local sales tax components, the same rate applies regardless of location within Indiana. For official guidance and definitions, the Indiana Department of Revenue (https://www.in.gov/dor/) is the authoritative source.
Examples
A retail transaction in Indiana is subject to the statewide sales tax rate of 7.00% under the State gross retail tax. In a flat-rate system, the tax amount is determined by applying the same percentage to the transaction amount. The total due for a transaction is the transaction amount plus the calculated sales tax. Because Indiana has no local sales tax components, the calculation does not change based on county or city location within the state.
