Sales Tax Calculator, Salyersville, KY

What shoppers pay in Salyersville, KY

With about 1,591 residents, Salyersville is a smaller Kentucky community. Kentucky applies a single 6.00% sales tax statewide and allows no county or municipal add-ons. A purchase rings up at the same rate in Salyersville as anywhere else in the state, which makes the arithmetic unusually simple.

Census figures (ACS 5-Year 2023) put median household income in Salyersville at $30,714, or about $591 a week. At the state's typical combined rate, a $500 purchase adds $30.00 in tax, and a $2,000 one adds $120.00. That larger figure works out to roughly 20% of a week's median household income here, which is why timing a big appliance or furniture purchase around a sales tax holiday can be worth the wait.
