Georgia sales tax rates by county

Georgia charges a 4% state sales and use tax, and counties add local option taxes on top: LOST, SPLOST, ELOST for schools, TSPLOST for transportation, MARTA in the Atlanta area and a few others. The Department of Revenue publishes the combined rate for every county each quarter. On the chart effective October 1 through December 31, 2026, combined rates run from 6% (Cobb and Gwinnett) to 9%, with Atlanta at 8.9% and special rates for a few Fulton County cities (DOR General Rate Chart, October 1, 2026; DOR sales tax rates page).

Worked example (pre-filled). A $100 purchase in Atlanta (Fulton County, DOR code 060A) is taxed at 8.90%: $8.90 of tax, of which $4.00 is the state share and $4.90 is local, for a total of $108.90. If a receipt shows a tax-inclusive total, the last line reverses the calculation.

Rate changes on October 1, 2026 compared with the July–September 2026 chart (previous chart): Charlton 7% → 8%; Dougherty 8% → 9%; Heard 7% → 8%; Houston 7% → 8%; Jenkins 8% → 9%; Monroe 8% → 9%; Richmond 8.5% → 9%; Tattnall 8% → 9%; Towns 8% → 7%; Wilcox 8% → 9%; Fulton (S. Downtn) is new at3.9%. The quarterly chart is the authority; if you are checking a receipt dated before October 1, 2026, use the earlier chart. The letters in the table show which local taxes make up each rate.

Two special districts, Fulton codes 803 (Centennial Yards) and 805 (South Downtown), appear on the chart at 3.9% excluding the 4% state tax, as the DOR notes; they are listed here as printed. Motor vehicles are generally not subject to sales tax in Georgia but to the 7% title ad valorem tax instead (see the auto loan calculator). Some items, such as most groceries, are exempt from the state 4% but may still carry local tax; this calculator applies the full combined rate to whatever amount you enter. Every restaurant bill in the tip calculator uses the same rates.

Fulton* = Fulton County outside Atlanta, Hapeville, College Park and East Point.

Formula and assumptions

tax = amount × combined rate ÷ 100
state share = amount × 4%; local share = tax − state share
pre-tax price from a tax-inclusive total = total ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100)

Rates are the DOR chart for October 1 – December 31, 2026; charts change quarterly and this page is updated when a new chart is published.
The full combined rate is applied; exemptions (for example the state share on eligible food) are not modelled.
Codes 803 and 805 are shown as printed on the chart, excluding the state 4%.
