How to calculate New Jersey sales tax

To find the sales tax on a purchase in New Jersey at the 6.63% state rate:

  • Convert the rate to a decimal: 6.63 ÷ 100 = 0.0663.
  • Multiply by the price: $100 × 0.0663 = $6.63 (sales tax).
  • Add it back: $100 + $6.63 = $106.63 (final price).

If your city or county adds a local tax, tick Include Local Tax to use New Jersey's average combined rate of 6.61%, or type your exact local rate. To work backwards from a receipt total, use the Remove Tax tab.

Final price = before-tax price × (1 + rate (%) / 100)
