The formulas

  • Sales tax = sale x (6% + local rate)
  • Nexus when counted sales are more than $100,000 in the prior 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 state rate is 6 percent. The tool multiplies the sale amount by the statewide base rate plus the local rate you enter (1 percent in Allegheny County or 2 percent in Philadelphia, otherwise zero) and shows the state and local parts separately. The local rate depends on where the goods are delivered.

A seller with no physical presence in Pennsylvania must register and collect once it has more than $100,000 of gross sales into Pennsylvania in the prior calendar year. Marketplace sales on which the facilitator collects Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania, 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.
