Massachusetts imposes a 6.25% state sales tax on most retail purchases. There are no local sales taxes in Massachusetts, so the rate is uniform statewide.
Sales taxes are typically not applied to groceries, prescription drugs, and some other categories in most states. The actual tax you pay may be lower than the calculated estimate if a significant portion of your spending is on exempt items.
