A 6.875% base plus metro-area taxes

Minnesota charges 6.875% statewide, and metro-area and city taxes raise the average combined rate to 8.14% — an average local add-on near 1.3 percentage points. The Twin Cities metro carries some of the higher combined totals in the state.

Because the local layer is meaningful in and around the metro, the combined rate for your city is usually above the 6.875% pre-fill. Minnesota fully exempts clothing, along with groceries and prescription medicine, so some items are taxed differently. This is an estimate, not tax advice.
