This is sales tax per state. I've googled and all I see are different percentage on all the sites. This is for 2024.

    According to the village’s Sales Tax Rates website, it’s 10.0% for general merchandise but varies for food and vehicles.

    I live in Hoffman Estates, would the rate be slightly different?
