Free calculator that helps businesses estimate how much they save annually by switching to a certified Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) provider. Presented by TaxCloud, one of only 6 SST-certified providers.
The Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) program is a multi-state initiative that simplifies sales tax compliance. It has 24 member states. Businesses that register through a certified SST provider receive free sales tax registrations and free monthly filings in all 24 SST member states. The SST Governing Board compensates certified providers directly, so the cost to businesses is zero.
Savings depend on how many SST states a business files in and its current filing costs. A business paying $75 per filing across all 24 SST states saves $21,600 per year on filing costs alone ($75 × 24 states × 12 months). Registration savings are additional: most non-SST providers charge between $150 and $250 per state registration, which SST eliminates entirely.

The calculator collects four inputs: your current cost per filing, the number of SST states you file in, your current cost per state registration, and the number of new SST state registrations you need. It then calculates annual filing savings (cost per filing × SST states × 12) and one-time registration savings (cost per registration × number of registrations), producing a total savings estimate.
Yes. When a business registers through a certified SST provider like TaxCloud, sales tax registrations and monthly filings in all 24 SST member states are completely free. The SST Governing Board compensates the certified providers directly.
Any business that registers for sales tax through a certified SST Certified Service Provider (CSP) qualifies. The business must have nexus (sales tax obligations) in the SST member states where it wants to file.
A Certified Service Provider is a company certified by the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board to provide sales tax compliance services. There are only 6 CSPs. They are compensated by the states through the SST program, which is why filings and registrations are free to businesses that use them.
Non-SST providers such as Numeral and Kintsugi typically charge $75 or more per filing per state per month, plus $150–$250 per state registration. TaxCloud, as a certified SST provider, charges nothing for filings or registrations in the 24 SST member states.
The 24 SST member states are: Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
