In preparation for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we recently rounded up the US states with the lowest state and local sales taxes.

But if you don't live in those states, you might need to expand your holiday shopping budget. The higher the state and local sales taxes, the more you may be spending on top of those Black Friday sales.

Goods and services that apply to sales tax, such as groceries or clothing, vary by state, according to Tax Foundation. Some cities also have a local tax set by the local government.
