Illinois 2026 sales tax notes: Illinois base state rate: 6.25%. Local combined rates range from 6.25% (rural areas) to 12% (Calumet City). Grocery tax: Illinois eliminated the 1% state grocery tax January 1, 2026 (P.A. 103-0781); however, most municipalities have adopted their own 1% local grocery tax — this calculator shows 0% state + local rate for groceries. Prescription drugs: still taxed at 1% Illinois state rate. Vehicles: taxed at 6.25% state rate only (county/city tax generally does not apply). Restaurant meals are taxed at the full combined rate. Rates shown are minimum combined rates — business district surcharges may apply. Always verify exact rates at mytax.illinois.gov.
