Estimated annual sales tax on a median household
A Anaheim household at the median income of $90,180 spending roughly a quarter of pre-tax income on taxable retail goods would pay about $1,747 a year in sales tax at 7.75%. This is an illustration, not a filing figure: the taxable share of spending varies with household composition, and California exempts or discounts several categories. Orange County has no city-level transactions tax in Anaheim, so the rate is among the lowest of any large California city.
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 Anaheim-specific measurement.
