This calculator estimates Utah sales tax and total cost for common purchases. It works for general taxable items, grocery food (reduced 3% statewide), and restaurant sales (adds the 1% restaurant tax when applicable). You’ll need the purchase amount and either your combined local sales tax rate or the purchase type (grocery/restaurant). Utah’s combined rate varies by jurisdiction and can change quarterly, so use the official rate lookup. Grocery food is taxed at a statewide 3% rate; prepared food is taxed at the combined local rate. Restaurants also add a 1% restaurant tax on food and beverages. Separately stated delivery charges are not subject to sales/use tax. Verified on January 28, 2026 (Europe/Madrid). Informational estimate only; rely on Utah State Tax Commission guidance and your invoice.

FAQs

When do I use the combined rate vs the 3% grocery rate?

Use 3% for qualifying grocery food; use the combined local rate for general taxable items and prepared food.

What counts as prepared food in Utah?

Prepared food is typically heated by the seller, mixed/combined, or sold with utensils provided.

Do restaurants charge more than regular sales tax?

Yes. Restaurants must also collect a 1% restaurant tax on food and beverage sales, on top of the regular rate.

If a restaurant sells a packaged grocery item, is it still 3%?

It can be taxed at the grocery rate if it qualifies and is listed separately, but the 1% restaurant tax still applies.

Are shipping/delivery charges taxable in Utah?

If the delivery charge is separately stated on the invoice, it is not subject to sales/use tax.

How do I find my exact Utah sales tax rate?

Rates vary by location and can change quarterly. Use Utah’s official rate tools by address/ZIP.

Why can my result differ from the receipt by a cent or two?

Utah uses standard rounding to cents; sellers may round per line item or apply mixed taxability rules.

Are prescription drugs taxed in Utah?

Prescription drugs are exempt when a prescription is required.

Are gift cards taxed?

Buying a gift card is not taxable; tax applies when it is used to buy taxable items.

What if the seller didn’t charge Utah sales tax on an online purchase?

Utah explains that use tax can apply when sales tax is due but not collected by the seller.
