The formulas

  • Sales tax = sale x (5.3% + local rate)
  • Nexus when counted sales are more than $100,000 or transactions are at least 200, in the previous or current calendar year
  • Counted sales = direct sales only

How it works

Figures current as of November 2026.

The general rate is 5.3 percent everywhere (4.3 percent state plus 1 percent local); some regions add more. The tool multiplies the sale amount by the statewide base rate plus the local rate you enter (the regional add-on: 0.7 percent in Central Virginia, Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia, 1.7 percent in the Historic Triangle, 1 percent in the localities Virginia Tax lists at 6.3 percent) 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 Virginia must register and collect once it has more than $100,000 of gross revenue from retail sales into Virginia, or at least 200 separate transactions, in the previous or current calendar year. Sales made through a marketplace facilitator do not count toward your own Virginia threshold; only your direct sales count.

A seller with a physical presence in Virginia, 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.
