As an American, most every state has a standardized tax rate statewide. In Texas it is 8.25%. Florida is 6%. This means that most of your daily transactions are predictable.
Weird exceptions might be for infrequent purchases like cars that are taxed differently.
- senkora 6y agoWell, in Texas it varies from a minimum of 6.25% to a maximum of 8.25%, but 8.25 is indeed typical: > Texas imposes a 6.25 percent state sales and use tax on all retail sales, leases and rentals of most goods, as well as taxable services. Local taxing jurisdictions (cities, counties, special purpose districts and transit authorities) can also impose up to 2 percent sales and use tax for a maximum combined rate of 8.25 percent. https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/sales// https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/sales//

- a5withtrrs 6y agoThis is predictable IF you spend a lot of time there, but if you don't, say as a foreigner travelling throughout the US, it is not. Again, it's just extra hassle for no good reason, I don't understand why printing the FULL price of the item on the sticker/sign/whatever isn't a thing.
