New Jersey sales tax rates
There is no local sales tax to add. The exception runs the other way: qualifying sales by certified businesses in Urban Enterprise Zones, and in Salem County, are taxed at half the rate (3.3125%).
Sales tax is charged at the rate for the place where the buyer takes delivery, so a business that ships within New Jersey charges the rate at the customer's address.
How to calculate it
Sales tax = price × combined rate. At 6.625%, a $1,000 sale carries $66.25 of tax and the customer pays $1,066.25.
To take the tax out of a tax-included total, divide by one plus the rate: $106.63 ÷ 1.06625 = $100.00. Subtracting 6.625% of the total instead gives the wrong answer, because the rate applies to the pre-tax price.
What is not taxed in New Jersey
Clothing and footwear, unprepared food and prescription drugs are exempt.
Rates and exemptions change, so confirm the rate for a specific address with the New Jersey Division of Taxation before you file. This calculator does the arithmetic; it is not tax advice.
