Sales Tax Calculator — Arizona
Arizona's 5.6% rate is technically a transaction privilege tax levied on sellers rather than a true sales tax, and municipalities add substantial local TPT, lifting the average combined rate to 8.52%. Each Arizona city sets its own rate, so totals swing widely between Phoenix, Tucson, and smaller towns.

Breakdown
Arizona's statewide base rate is 5.6% and its average combined state + local rate is 8.52% (pre-filled). The rate is editable because local rates vary by exact address and some items are exempt or taxed differently. Statewide rates are from the Tax Foundation, 2026. An estimate, not tax advice.
A 5.6% state base plus heavy city TPT
Arizona starts from a 5.6% statewide transaction privilege tax, but city and county TPT push the average combined rate to 8.52% — an average local add-on near 2.9 percentage points. Because each city sets its own rate, the combined total varies meaningfully between Phoenix, Tucson, and smaller towns.
Pre-filling 5.6% gives you the state floor, but most purchases are taxed at the higher combined city rate, so enter the rate for your specific Arizona municipality. Some items may be taxed differently from the standard rate. This is an estimate, not tax advice.
