How the Florida sales tax calculation works

Florida's sales tax rate is 6%: $6 on a $100 sale and $60 on $1,000. This is the state rate only. Counties can add a discretionary sales surtax on top; the Department of Revenue lists each county's rate on Form DR-15DSS. Enter your price and any local rate to see the Florida sales tax and the total.

  1. Start with the 6% state rate

    Florida charges 6% on taxable sales.

  2. Add your local rate if there is one

    Counties can add a discretionary sales surtax on top; the Department of Revenue lists each county's rate on Form DR-15DSS. Enter that rate as the local tax; Florida's revenue department lists the rate for each address.

  3. Multiply the price by the rate

    Divide 6% by 100 and multiply: $100 × 0.06 = $6.00, and $250 × 0.06 = $15.00.

  4. Add the tax to the price

    A $250 item in Florida costs the buyer $265.00 at the state rate, before any local tax.

Worked example. A $250.00 sale in Florida at the 6% state rate carries $15.00 in sales tax, for a $265.00 total. If a 1% local tax applied on top, the combined rate would be 7% and the Florida buyer would pay $267.50.
