The formulas

  • Sales tax = sale x (6.25% + local rate)
  • Nexus when counted sales are more than $100,000 in the prior or current calendar year
  • Counted sales = direct sales + marketplace sales on which the facilitator did not collect

How it works

Figures current as of November 2026.

The rate is 6.25 percent. Massachusetts has no local sales tax on goods. The tool multiplies the sale amount by the statewide base rate plus the local rate you enter (zero: Massachusetts has no local sales tax on goods) and shows the state and local parts separately.

A seller with no physical presence in Massachusetts must register and collect once it has more than $100,000 of sales into Massachusetts in the prior or current calendar year. Marketplace sales on which the facilitator collects Massachusetts tax do not count toward your own threshold; marketplace sales on which it does not collect do count.

A seller with a physical presence in Massachusetts, such as staff, an office or inventory, must collect regardless of the threshold. The tool does not decide whether a product is taxable or exempt; enter the taxable price.
