Utah’s statewide base sales tax rate is 4.85%, but local jurisdictions—including cities and counties—can add their own taxes. The typical combined rate ranges from 6.1% to over 9%, depending on location. Sales tax also varies depending on the type of purchase. For example, groceries are taxed at a reduced statewide rate of 3%, plus any applicable local taxes.
Calculating sales tax in Utah is simple. You’ll need to know the full combined rate (state + local). Once you have that, follow these steps:
Multiply the Purchase Amount by the Sales Tax Rate to get the Sales Tax Amount.
Add the Sales Tax Amount to the Purchase Amount to find the Total Cost
You can use these formulas or use our calculator for a faster answer.
Sales Tax = Purchase Amount × Sales Tax Rate
Total Cost = Purchase Amount + Sales Tax
