Sales Tax Calculator, Riverton, UT

What shoppers pay in Riverton, UT

Riverton is a smaller Utah community, with roughly 45,285 residents. Utah charges a 6.10% state sales tax, and counties, cities and special districts add their own levies on top. Across the state those local add-ons average 1.09%, bringing the typical combined rate to 7.19%.

Census figures (ACS 5-Year 2023) put median household income in Riverton at $119,093, or about $2,290 a week. At the state's typical combined rate, a $500 purchase adds $35.95 in tax, and a $2,000 one adds $143.80. That larger figure works out to roughly 6% 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 7.19% above is a statewide average, not a rate we can confirm for a specific Riverton 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 Utah revenue department for the exact delivery address. Groceries are taxable in Utah, so the rate applies to a weekly food shop as well.
