How New Jersey sales tax works
Every taxable purchase in New Jersey starts with the 6.63% state rate. Because New Jersey doesn't permit local sales taxes, that's also your final rate anywhere in the state, which makes totals easy to predict.
To figure the tax yourself: multiply the price by 0.0660. A $250.00 purchase generates $16.50 in tax for a total of $266.50. To back the tax out of a receipt total, divide by 1.0660 instead. The calculator above does both.
