How sales tax works in Alaska
Alaska has no statewide rate, but cities and boroughs can levy their own sales taxes. Counties and cities add their own rates on top, which is why the combined total varies by location. The 1.82% figure above is the population-weighted average. To add tax, multiply the price by the rate; to back it out of a tax-inclusive total, divide by 1 plus the rate.
Worked example
A $100 purchase at Alaska's average combined rate of 1.82% adds $1.82 in sales tax, for a $101.82 total.
