Economic Nexus Calculator Tool

About This Calculator

This free economic nexus analysis tool shows you where your business may have a requirement to collect and remit sales tax.

This report does not constitute tax advice. There is additional information that your company may need to consider when determining how sales tax should be collected (e.g., physical nexus, PPLT). To learn more about state-by-state sales tax nexus rules and collection requirements, visit our Wayfair v. South Dakota resource page.

The Importance of Understanding Your Nexus Exposure

In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the “physical presence” standard that previously determined when businesses had sales tax obligations. The decision held that the correct standard for determining the constitutionality of sales tax in a state is whether the tax applies to an activity with “substantial nexus” within the taxing state. Simply put, when you conduct business in a state, you might create “nexus.”

As a result, states are now allowed to include remote sales as criteria for creating substantial nexus, even if a business has no form of physical presence in a state. By merely having sales into a state, economic nexus can now be created. 

Every state has different thresholds and requirements for collecting sales tax. If you make sales into multiple states where you have nexus but don’t collect, you could be considered non-compliant and face hefty penalties and fines.
