How sales tax works in Ohio
Sales tax in Ohio starts with the 5.75% statewide rate and climbs from there: your county and city add their own rates, so the combined total you actually pay depends on your exact address. Many states also exempt or reduce tax on essentials like groceries and prescription drugs, so a full cart can be taxed at a lower effective rate than the headline number.
To get your precise figure, find your combined state-plus-local rate (your Ohio Department of Revenue publishes a lookup by address) and enter it in the calculator above. It computes the tax and total in exact cents.
