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.

South Dakota rate and local taxes

Statewide rate: 4.2%. The page does not state when the rate took effect.

The South Dakota page we read does not say whether local sales taxes apply, so check the state’s own lookup for the combined rate at an address. This site does not show an average local rate because no official source publishes one.

Official page: South Dakota tax agency page.

Worked example

A $200.00 purchase at the 4.2% state rate: $200.00 × 4.2% = $8.40 of state tax, so the total is $200.00 + $8.40 = $208.40 before any local tax. To work backward from a total that includes tax, divide it by 1 plus the combined rate.
