What it does
- Enter your sales and transaction counts into each state by month, or import a CSV with the headings date,state,amount,transactions.
- For each state, the tracker adds up the months the state's own measuring period covers (a calendar year, a 12-month period ending September 30, or a rolling 12 months, as our data records it) and shows your share of the published threshold.
- It emails you once when a state reaches 80% of its threshold and once at 100%, for each measuring period. No other emails.
- 46 states have a threshold confirmed in our data; 5 have no statewide sales tax. Any state we have not confirmed is shown as not confirmed, with the state's page.
- Only your monthly totals by state are kept. The CSV is added up and discarded.

What the tracker is not
The tracker is an organizer, not tax or legal advice. It compares the totals you enter with each state's published threshold as our data files record it; it does not decide whether you must register, and it does not register, file or pay anything. States change their rules, count different kinds of sales, and start collection on different dates. Confirm with each state or a tax professional before you act.
Crossed a threshold and want the permit handled? Our sales tax permit registration service applies in each state you choose, with any state fee at cost.
Questions
What does the tracker do?
You enter your sales and number of transactions into each state by month, or import a CSV. For each state, the tracker adds up the months the state's own measuring period covers and shows what share of its published remote seller threshold you have reached, with the official page we checked. It emails you once when a state reaches 80% and once at 100%, for each measuring period.
Which thresholds does it use?
Only the figures our sales tax data files record from each state's department of revenue or statute, the same data as our free threshold table. A state whose figure we have not confirmed is shown as not confirmed, with the state's page to check, and never with a guessed number.
What CSV can I import?
A simple CSV with the headings date,state,amount,transactions: one row per sale or per day or month, with the state as a two-letter code or full name. Shopify, Stripe and Amazon reports can be saved as CSV and their columns renamed to these four. The file is added up by state and month and then discarded.
What do you keep?
Only your totals by state and month: an amount and a count of transactions. We never keep the file you upload, your orders, your customers or their addresses. You can download or delete your totals at any time.
Does it register me or file returns?
No. It does not register, file or pay anything. If you cross a threshold and want the permit handled, our sales tax permit registration service applies in the states you choose.
How much is it?
$9 a month for one business, or $19 a month for up to 5 businesses. Billed monthly through Stripe; cancel any time from the billing portal. If it is not right for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full.
Is this tax advice?
No. It is an organizer that adds up the numbers you enter and compares them with published figures. States count different kinds of sales and start collection on different dates, so confirm with each state or a tax professional before you act.
