In Illinois, the Non-Home Rule Sales Tax, levied by non-home rule local governments, applies to the same general merchandise as the state sales tax. This tax can be set in increments of 0.25% up to 1%, and it's aimed at funding local services. Each non-home rule locality decides independently on whether to implement the tax and at what rate, based on their specific needs.
A 2025 WalletHub study found that Illinois has the highest overall taxes in the U.S., with rates more than 50% higher than the national average. The study estimates that a median household in Illinois pays an effective tax rate of 16.58%, or about $13,099 per year.
