Sales Tax Calculator, Wabasha, MN

What shoppers pay in Wabasha, MN

Wabasha is a smaller Minnesota community, with roughly 2,559 residents. Minnesota charges a 6.88% state sales tax, and counties, cities and special districts add their own levies on top. Across the state those local add-ons average 0.61%, bringing the typical combined rate to 7.49%.

Census figures (ACS 5-Year 2023) put median household income in Wabasha at $62,016, or about $1,193 a week. At the state's typical combined rate, a $500 purchase adds $37.43 in tax, and a $2,000 one adds $149.70. That larger figure works out to roughly 13% 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.

One caveat matters before you budget from these numbers. The 7.49% above is a statewide average, not a rate we can confirm for a specific Wabasha address. Because special districts draw their own boundaries, two addresses a few streets apart can fall under different combined rates. For a purchase where the difference matters, check the rate lookup published by the Minnesota revenue department for the exact delivery address. Groceries are exempt in Minnesota, so a weekly food shop is not affected.
