Sales Tax Calculator — Alabama
Alabama pairs a low 4% statewide rate with some of the country's steepest local add-ons, pushing the average combined rate to 9.46%. Home-rule cities and counties levy their own sales taxes on top, and Alabama is one of the few states still taxing groceries, though that grocery rate is being phased down.
