Idaho Sales Tax Calculator
Idaho taxes groceries at the full state rate, one of the few states that still does so. Idaho's grocery credit is claimed on the income tax return, so the register receipt still shows tax on food.
Default for Idaho: 6.25%. Edit to use another rate.
State-level estimate — the exact rate depends on your county, city, and special districts.
