Colorado has a statewide base sales tax rate of 2.90%, one of the lowest in the country. However, local governments can impose additional taxes, resulting in a wide range of total tax rates across the state. Because Colorado is a “home rule” state, many cities administer their own sales taxes independently. As a result, the maximum combined rate ranges from 7% to 9% but can exceed 11% in some areas.
Since sales tax rates in Colorado vary based on location, the first step is finding the Sales Tax Rate for your location.
Multiply the Purchase Amount by the Total Tax Rate to determine the Sales Tax Amount
Add the Sales Tax amount to the original Purchase Amount to find the Total Cost
You can use these formulas or use our calculator for a faster answer.
