How much is Oklahoma's cigarette tax?

Oklahoma charges a state excise tax of 2.03 dollars per pack of 20 cigarettes, raised by a 1 dollar fee added in 2018. This is on top of the retail price and any general sales tax, and it is one of the higher cigarette taxes among neighboring states.

What are Oklahoma's alcohol excise rates?

Oklahoma levies roughly 0.40 dollars per gallon on beer, 0.72 dollars per gallon on table wine, and 5.56 dollars per gallon on distilled spirits. These per-gallon excises are collected from distributors and built into the shelf price.

Is excise tax the same as sales tax?

No. Excise tax is a fixed amount per unit (per pack or per gallon) charged regardless of price, while sales tax is a percentage of the price at checkout. Oklahoma applies both, so the excise here is separate from the 4.5 percent state sales tax.

How do I convert bottles to gallons?

A standard 750 milliliter bottle is about 0.198 gallons, a case of twelve such bottles is about 2.38 gallons, and a 12-ounce beer is about 0.094 gallons. Enter the total gallons of each beverage to get the excise.

Does this include federal excise tax?

No. The federal government also taxes tobacco and alcohol separately (for example about 1.01 dollars per pack of cigarettes). This calculator estimates only the Oklahoma state excise, which is what differs most from other states.

Oklahoma taxes cigarettes and alcohol with excise taxes — fixed amounts per pack or per gallon, charged on top of the shelf price and separate from sales tax. This calculator shows exactly how much Oklahoma excise is built into a tobacco or alcohol purchase.

How it works

Excise tax is a per-unit charge, so the math is a simple multiplication by quantity:

Cigarettes: $2.03 per pack of 20.
Beer: about $0.40 per gallon.
Wine: about $0.72 per gallon (table wine).
Spirits: about $5.56 per gallon of distilled liquor.

The formula is excise = quantity × rate, where quantity is packs for cigarettes or gallons for beverages. Unlike a percentage sales tax, the excise does not change with the brand or price — only with how much you buy.

Tips and example

A carton of cigarettes (10 packs) carries 10 × $2.03 = $20.30 in Oklahoma state excise alone. A case of twelve 750 ml wine bottles is about 2.38 gallons, so the wine excise is roughly 2.38 × $0.72 = $1.71.

To convert containers to gallons: a 750 ml bottle is about 0.198 gallons and a 12 oz beer is about 0.094 gallons. This tool covers only the state excise — federal tobacco and alcohol excise and Oklahoma’s general sales tax are additional.
