    Sales tax rate (on general merchandise) is 10.25% in Cook County:

    https://www.revenue.state.il.us/app/trii/servlet/T...

    Sales tax = 7.99 X 10.25% = $0.82

    Total price = 7.99 + 0.82 = $8.81

    Re: Illinois Sales tax : • There are two rates for state sales tax: 6.25 percent for general merchandise and 1 percent for qualifying food, drugs and medical appliances. • Effective each January and July, the local government sales tax rates may be adjusted. HANK

    I already told you it varies by city and county the last time you asked with a link to sales tax info at IL Dept of Revenue. So go back and look at that answer. Another reply here gave it for City of Chicago (10.25%),
