Need help calculating sales tax and tag on site...

All,
I am running around in circles seraching for a company that offers a database or API that can allow my customers to do a quick change to the zip code to adjust the taxes and tags calculated on my site's VDP. Here is a snapshot on Vroom's page what I am referencing...




I have been in contact with DMV Nationwide and they offer an API service for the full breakdown/required docs but charge close to $8/pull. I have to believe there is a cheaper option. After all if we had 500 customers adjust the zip code on our VDP in a month that would set us back a cool $4K!

Any help would be much appreciated!

A dealer seeks a cost-effective solution to display dynamic sales tax and tag calculations on their vehicle detail pages based on customer zip code input, citing concerns about expensive API services like DMV Nationwide's $8-per-query model. Responses suggest exploring cheaper alternatives, such as pre-building a local database of tax rates by city/state that updates periodically rather than making live API calls, and investigating whether data providers like Acxiom offer bulk tax rate information.
