NAICS Lookup

Search the complete official 2022 U.S. NAICS structure by code or Census title. Results help locate possible classifications; NumPad does not determine a business’s correct code.

Official title or 2–6 digit code

Keyword search uses official titles only. Review the linked Census definition before selecting a code.

Important limitation

NumPad searches official Census titles and hierarchy. It does not assign a NAICS code, interpret an establishment’s primary activity, or determine tax treatment, licensing, SBA size status, or contracting eligibility.

Source & methodology

Edition and provenance. This directory is generated from the official Census Bureau 2022 NAICS Structure with Change Indicator. It contains all 2,125 structure rows: 20 sectors, 96 subsectors, 308 industry groups, 689 NAICS industries, and 1,012 U.S. national industries.

Search method. Code lookup matches the official structure exactly and shows the selected level plus its immediate children. Keyword search matches words only against official Census titles. NumPad does not add proprietary classifications, synonyms, or company-name predictions.

Definitions. Each result links to the official Census NAICS search, where full definitions, examples, cross-references, and index entries are available. The 2022 NAICS Manual is the authoritative detailed reference.

Edition changes. Change badges reproduce the indicators in the Census structure file. For codes from another edition, consult the official Census concordance resources. OMB adopted the 2022 revision in Statistical Policy Directive No. 8; proposed 2027 revisions do not change this directory until a new edition is adopted and loaded.
