Delaware has no statewide sales tax
Delaware is one of just five states — Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon (the “NOMAD” states) — that levy no statewide general sales tax. That means the sticker price is usually what you pay at the register, with no percentage added on most goods.
Some narrow exceptions exist (for example, lodging, prepared meals or specific excise taxes in certain localities), so if a receipt does show a charge, switch the calculator to Remove tax mode and enter the rate to see the pre-tax amount.
How Delaware sales tax is calculated
Sales tax is the price multiplied by the rate as a decimal. In Delaware the general rate is 0%, so there's normally nothing to add. To work backwards from a total that already includes tax, divide by one plus the rate — the calculator's Remove tax mode does this in one step.
