The formulas
- Sales tax = sale x (6.25% + local rate)
- Nexus when counted sales are at least $500,000 in the preceding 12 calendar months
- Counted sales = direct sales + marketplace sales
How it works
Figures current as of November 2026.
The state rate is 6.25 percent. The tool multiplies the sale amount by the statewide base rate plus the local rate you enter (local use tax for the delivery address, or the single local use tax rate if elected) 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 Texas must register and collect once it has at least $500,000 of total Texas revenue, including nontaxable sales, resale sales and fees in the preceding 12 calendar months. Sales you make through a marketplace facilitator count toward your own Texas threshold, together with your direct sales.
A seller with a physical presence in Texas, 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.
