Sales tax exists.

Is sales tax included in prices? I've seen people online saying it's often not since it varies from place to place?

Correct, sales tax is not included in pricing in the US. I learned that at a fairly young age when I wanted to spend $20 I had from my birthday on a $20 Lego set when whoops, need another dollar (thankfully my mom was there to cover it)

So it's not included on the sticker price but it is included in the price you pay

In the states, sales tax is almost never included in the price.
