The tax rounds half up to the cent. A seller’s own rounding rules and any items taxed at other rates can change the final charge.
FedRateCalc is not a tax agency and this is not tax advice. The state tax agency’s own rate page and lookup tool are authoritative, and a seller’s receipt shows the tax actually charged.
Arkansas rate and local taxes

The page says the buyer also owes the city and/or county tax where the items are first delivered. This site does not show an average local rate because no official source publishes one.

Worked example
A $200.00 purchase at the 6.5% state rate: $200.00 × 6.5% = $13.00 of state tax, so the total is $200.00 + $13.00 = $213.00 before any local tax. To work backward from a total that includes tax, divide it by 1 plus the combined rate.
