Estimated annual sales tax on a median household
A Chandler household at the median income of $100,918 spending roughly a quarter of pre-tax income on taxable retail goods would pay about $1,968 a year in sales tax at 7.8%. This is an illustration, not a filing figure: the taxable share of spending varies with household composition, and Arizona exempts or discounts several categories. Chandler runs one of the lowest municipal rates in the Phoenix metro, which is why its combined rate sits under Phoenix and Mesa.
Method: median household income × 25% taxable share × combined rate. The 25% share is a rough national benchmark from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey, not a Chandler-specific measurement.
