# Configure State Sales Tax

> Configure state-specific sales tax percentages in DoorDesignOnline and learn how the selected delivery state affects the shopping cart and checkout total.

Configure sales tax rates for individual U.S. states in the DoorDesignOnline Admin Panel. When a customer chooses a delivery state in the shopping cart, the order summary displays the applicable configured state tax rate and calculated sales tax amount.

## Configure state tax rates

Open [Sales Tax in the Admin Panel](https://admin.doordesignonline.com/dashboard/global-options/sales-tax), or navigate to **Admin Panel → Global Options → Sales Tax**.

**1. Open Sales Tax**

Select **Global Options** in the left navigation, then choose **Sales Tax**. The table lists configured states and their **Sales Tax %** values.

**2. Add a state**

Click **Add State**. In the dialog, select a **State**, enter the **Sales Tax %** (for example, enter `6.625` for 6.625%), and click **Add**.

**3. Save the configuration**

Click **Save** in the top-right corner to retain your changes.

To **change an existing rate**, edit its percentage directly in the table and click **Save**. To **remove a configured state**, click the trash icon beside its row and save the change.

## How sales tax affects the shopping cart

The customer selects a **State** in the **Delivery address** section of the cart. The order summary shows a state-specific tax line, including the state name, configured percentage, and tax amount.

In the supplied example, the delivery state is **New Jersey**, so the cart shows **New Jersey Sales Tax (6.625%)**.

### Shopping cart example

In this example, the displayed amounts reconcile as follows:

1. **Tax calculation base:** \$1,007.60 - \$50.46 + \$30.00 + \$73.94 = **\$1,061.08**.
2. **Sales tax:** \$1,061.08 × 6.625% = \$70.30 after rounding.
3. **Final total:** \$1,061.08 + \$70.30 = **\$1,131.38**.

## Verify your configuration

After adding or changing a state rate, test a cart with a delivery address in that state. Confirm that the tax line displays the expected **state**, **percentage**, and **amount**, and that the final total reflects the tax. Repeat for each state you configure.
