What does Sales Tax Saver do?

It shows the real cost of buying an item — the price plus sales tax — and whether driving to a lower-tax pickup nearby actually beats having it shipped home, once gas and the value of your time are counted. Enter an item price and your ZIP (or use your location) and it compares the options and tells you the cheaper one.

How are the tax rates calculated?

The app uses bundled per-county combined sales-tax data for the U.S. Florida is exact down to the county discretionary surtax; elsewhere rates are close estimates and may not reflect every special district. These figures are estimates for general information only and are not tax, legal, or financial advice — always confirm with the retailer or a tax professional before relying on them.

Why does it ask for my location?

Only to find the sales-tax rate for your area. Location is optional — you can simply type a ZIP code or city instead, and the app works fully without granting location access. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Does it cost anything?

No. The app is free with no ads and no account. If you find it useful, there's an optional way to leave a small tip — entirely your choice, and it unlocks nothing.

I think a rate or a route looks wrong.

Distances and rates are approximate. If something looks off, email us the ZIP code and the item details and we'll investigate.
