How the tax works
Delaware charges 15% on the retail price of most adult-use marijuana products. If the tax has a fraction of a cent, state law rounds the tax up to the next cent. On a $100 product, the estimated total is $115. Delaware has no general state or local sales tax.
Qualifying medical marijuana products are outside this retail tax. Since 21 October 2026, a Delaware-defined infused beverage sold by a licensed package store or marijuana retail store is also exempt. The statutory beverage definition excludes alcohol and other THC forms and sets delta-9 and container limits; check the product before selecting that option.
Use a pretax retail price after discounts, excluding separately stated taxes. Tax-inclusive advertised prices must be converted to a pretax price first. Store fees, delivery charges and receipt rounding can change the amount owed; this estimate does not resolve their tax treatment.
