What is the sales tax rate in Illinois?

Illinois’ sales tax rate is 6.25 percent on general merchandise and 1 percent on qualifying foods, drugs, and medical appliances. The tax rate may be higher in some areas because some local jurisdictions are allowed to impose their own taxes. Please visit our Tax Rate Finder to find specific tax rates in Illinois.
