The formulas

  • Sales tax = sale x (7% + local rate)
  • Nexus when counted sales are at least $100,000 or transactions are at least 200, in the previous calendar year

How it works

Figures current as of November 2026.

The rate is 7 percent. Rhode Island has no local sales tax. The tool multiplies the sale amount by the statewide base rate plus the local rate you enter (zero: Rhode Island has no local sales tax) and shows the state and local parts separately.

A seller with no physical presence in Rhode Island must register and collect once it has at least $100,000 of gross revenue from sales delivered into Rhode Island, or at least 200 separate transactions, in the previous calendar year.

A seller with a physical presence in Rhode Island, 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.
