Working out the price before tax
Divide the total by 1 plus the rate. A receipt total of $106.88 at 6.875% means a pre-tax price of $100.00 and tax of $6.88. The calculator does this for you in its "remove tax" mode.
Local rates vary by address
Cities, counties and special districts in Minnesota add their own sales tax on top of the state rate, averaging about 1.263% across the state. Two shops a mile apart can charge different totals. For an exact figure, use the local rate for the delivery or store address, which the state revenue department publishes.
Good to know
Clothing is exempt, and so are food and food ingredients other than candy, soft drinks, dietary supplements and prepared food (Minn. Stat. 297A.67).
Buying online
Since the 2018 Wayfair decision, most online sellers charge sales tax based on the delivery address, so an online order shipped to Minnesota is taxed at Minnesota rates, not the seller's.
