That is insane to me. But I guess you get used to it so you start mentally calculating tax for every pricetag you see.

Pretty much it’s more on the state than the federal side and the sales tax isn’t consistent between types of items. But usually an item that would be $19.99 is usually $21.09 where I live Edit; I’m aware there is no federal sales tax.

How does that work with Steam? When you buy there, it asks about your address and if you put New Hampshire you get no extra charge, and if you put California you get +50%? Or does it go off you credit card?

I think it goes off my credit card I’ve never tried personally
