# Tax calculators

By connecting a tax calculator to a market, all the market orders get automatic tax calculations.

At the moment the following types of tax calculators are available (more to come):

* [Manual](/core-api-reference/manual_tax_calculators.md) — add simple, location-based tax rules.
* [Avalara](/core-api-reference/avalara_accounts.md) — leverage our out-of-the-box integration with [Avalara](https://www.avalara.com/).
* [Stripe Tax](/core-api-reference/stripe_tax_accounts.md) — leverage our out-of-the-box integration with [Stripe Tax](https://stripe.com/tax).
* [TaxJar](/core-api-reference/taxjar_accounts.md) — leverage our out-of-the-box integration with [TaxJar](https://www.taxjar.com/).
* [Vertex](/core-api-reference/vertex_accounts.md) — leverage our out-of-the-box integration with [Vertex](https://www.vertexinc.com/).
