What is Numeral?
Numeral is a San Francisco sales-tax automation platform founded in 2022, serving 3,500+ businesses across 90+ countries. It combines nexus monitoring, registrations, calculation, filings, remittance and tax-mail management.
Numeral is an indirect-tax platform for ecommerce, SaaS and other businesses with multistate obligations. It connects stores, billing systems and finance platforms to monitor physical and economic nexus, calculate tax, support registrations, file returns and remit payments. A virtual mailbox handles tax correspondence, while product-classification tools help map goods and services to applicable tax treatment.
The platform covers US sales-tax operations and global VAT and GST compliance in more than 90 countries. Its feature set includes monitoring, Autofile, Autoregister, exemption-certificate management, tax calculation, reporting, analytics and an API. International coverage, advanced reporting, tax-lawyer consultation and some higher-tier capabilities are custom-priced rather than published as a fixed plan.
Numeral is designed for growing ecommerce and SaaS companies that need managed compliance without building an internal filing operation. Monitoring is free and paid US compliance uses per-filing pricing: $75 per return and $150 per state registration. Standard accounts have no required long-term contract, while state fees, renewals, penalties, interest and certain exceptional services can be separate charges.
