General calculator →Frequently Asked Questions, Sales Tax Calculator in Connecticut
What is the Connecticut sales tax rate?↓
Connecticut has a flat 6.35% state sales tax. Cities and towns are not permitted to add local sales taxes, so the rate is uniform across Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Bridgeport, and the rest of the state. A higher 7.75% rate applies to luxury items, and a 1% tax applies to computer and data processing services.
What qualifies as a luxury good in Connecticut?↓
Connecticut applies a higher 7.75% sales tax rate to specific "luxury" items, including: motor vehicles sold for more than $50,000, jewelry sold for more than $5,000, and clothing or footwear sold for more than $1,000 per item. On a $60,000 car, you would pay $4,650 in Connecticut sales tax instead of $3,810 at the standard rate. The rate applies to the full purchase price, not just the amount above the threshold.
What is exempt from Connecticut sales tax?↓
Connecticut exempts most unprepared food (groceries), prescription drugs, and clothing items under $50 (up to a $1,000 threshold, above which luxury rates apply). Medical equipment, children's car seats, and some energy-efficient appliances are also exempt. Restaurant meals and prepared food are taxed at 6.35%. Services are generally not taxable, though Connecticut taxes many specific services including computer services, telecommunications, and certain labor services.
