How to calculate Washington sales tax
Enter your ZIP code in the calculator above for the exact local rate at your address - the tool matches it instantly and auto-fills the rate. Without a ZIP, it defaults to Washington's 9.38% average combined rate. At that average, a $100 item costs $109.38 total.
The formula is straightforward:
- Tax amount = Pre-tax price x (Rate / 100)
- Total price = Pre-tax price + Tax amount
To reverse the calculation (find the pre-tax price from a total you already paid), switch to Remove tax mode. The formula is: Pre-tax price = Total / (1 + Rate / 100).
The default rate in the calculator is 9.38% - Washington's statewide average combined rate. If you know your specific city or county rate, enter it in the rate override field for a more precise result. City rates for Washington's major areas are listed in the table below.

What is exempt from Washington sales tax?
Not all purchases are taxed equally in Washington. Key exemptions reduce the tax burden on essentials. Prescription drugs are exempt - a standard exemption in most states. Groceries are exempt, which has a significant impact on household budgets.
| Category | Washington treatment |
|---|---|
| Groceries / food | Exempt |
| Prescription drugs | Exempt |
| OTC medications | Exempt |
| Clothing | Taxable |
Exemptions are set at the state level but may not override local taxes. When a category is "exempt" from the state rate, local taxes may still apply in some jurisdictions. Always confirm with your local tax authority for high-value purchases.
Remove tax: find the pre-tax price
If you have a receipt and want to know what the item cost before tax, you need the reverse sales tax calculation. This is common when comparing advertised prices, calculating business expenses, or verifying a charge.
The reverse formula divides the total by (1 + rate). At Washington's 9.38% average rate: Pre-tax = Total / 1.0938. For example, if you paid $109.38, the pre-tax price was $100.00 and the tax was $9.38.
Use the Remove tax mode in the calculator above. Enter what you paid, and the tool instantly splits out the pre-tax price and the tax amount.
Washington sales tax tips
A few practical tips for shopping and doing business in Washington:
- Use the combined rate, not just the state rate. The 6.5% state rate understates what you actually pay in most of Washington. The 9.38% average combined rate is the more useful benchmark.
- Check for tax-free weekends. Several states run annual tax holidays on clothing and school supplies. Check the Washington Department of Revenue website for current year dates.
- Exemption documentation. If you are buying exempt items (resale, manufacturing, agriculture), you typically need to provide an exemption certificate. Keep copies for your records.
- Online purchases. If you buy from an online seller with economic nexus in Washington, Washington sales tax applies at your delivery address rate. Small sellers below the economic nexus threshold (usually $100,000 in annual sales) may not collect it.
