Arizona Sales Tax Guide 2026

Arizona Sales Tax Rate Overview

Arizona's sales tax consists of a 5.60% state rate plus average local taxes of 2.78%, bringing the combined average rate to 8.38%. Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) — technically a privilege tax on businesses. On a $100 purchase, you pay $8.38 in sales tax. On a $1,000 purchase, the tax is $83.80. Rates can vary within Arizona depending on the county and city of purchase.

How Arizona Sales Tax Is Calculated

Arizona sales tax is calculated by multiplying your purchase price by the applicable combined tax rate. The combined rate includes both the 5.60% Arizona state rate and any applicable local taxes in your specific location. The rate is applied to the pre-tax price and added to your total at checkout. For example, a $250 purchase in Arizona at the average 8.38% combined rate includes $20.95 in sales tax, for a total of $270.95.

Sales Tax Rates Across Arizona Cities

Sales tax rates vary within Arizona depending on county and city. Tucson has one of the highest combined rates at 8.70%, while Mesa has a lower rate of 8.60%. The variation comes from different local add-on taxes approved by voters or county boards. When shopping online in Arizona, the rate is typically based on your delivery address — known as destination-based sourcing.

Online Shopping and Sales Tax in Arizona

Arizona residents pay sales tax on online purchases. Since the 2018 Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, states can require online retailers to collect sales tax even without a physical presence in the state. Major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, and Target collect Arizona sales tax at checkout on orders delivered to Arizona addresses. The rate applied is based on your delivery address — your specific city and county rate, not just the state base rate.

What Is Exempt from Arizona Sales Tax?

Arizona exempts certain product categories from sales tax. Prescription drugs are exempt in Arizona (as they are in all 50 states). Unprepared groceries are also exempt from Arizona sales tax, though restaurant meals and prepared food are taxable. Clothing is subject to the standard Arizona sales tax rate. When in doubt about whether a specific item is taxable, check the Arizona Department of Revenue website.

Reverse Sales Tax Calculator for Arizona

If you paid a total amount that included Arizona sales tax and need to find the original pre-tax price, use the reverse sales tax formula: divide the total amount by (1 + combined rate). For example, if you paid $108.19 in Arizona where the combined rate is 8.38%, the pre-tax price was $108.19 ÷ 1.0838 = $99.82. Our calculator above has a built-in reverse mode — just enter the total paid and it calculates the original price and tax amount automatically.
