Rates and jurisdictions are sourced from Florida Department of Revenue and reflect current Florida law. Sales tax in Florida applies at the point of sale for most tangible personal property; groceries, prescription drugs, and other categories may be exempt or taxed at a reduced rate depending on state law. Use the calculator to compare totals across different jurisdictions, or to verify a receipt. The combined rate shown is the rate applicable at a specific location and accounts for any special district taxes layered on top of the county or municipal rate.
Florida's state sales tax base rate is 6%. In Miami-Dade (Miami) the combined rate is 7%, so $100 of goods has $7.00 in sales tax, for a total of $107.00. Pick your county below for the exact combined rate.
How sales tax works in Florida
Florida charges a statewide base sales tax of 6%. 6% state plus a county discretionary sales surtax of 0% to 2% (most counties 0.5% to 1.5%). The surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of a single item. Choose your county above to load its sourced combined rate, or switch to Remove tax to work back from a tax-inclusive total. Your result updates the page link, so you can copy a permalink to any calculation.
sales tax = pre-tax price x (state rate + local rate) / 100
total = pre-tax price + sales tax
Worked example
A $250.00 purchase in Miami-Dade (Miami), at the 7% combined rate (6% state + 1% local):
- Combined rate = 6% + 1% = 7%.
- Sales tax = 250 x 0.0700 = $17.50.
- Total = 250 + 17.50 = $267.50.

The $5,000 cap that changes your Florida total
Florida levies no state income tax, which puts extra weight on the 6% state sales tax and the county surtax stacked on top. The detail almost everyone misses is the cap: the discretionary surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of a single item, while the 6% state tax applies to the whole price. On a single $30,000 purchase delivered in Miami-Dade (7%), the 1% surtax is charged on $5,000, not $30,000, so the surtax is $50, not $300. That one rule quietly separates a correct Florida total from an overstated one, and it is why a flat "price times combined rate" runs high on big-ticket items.
Across the 67 counties the combined rate runs 6% to 8%. Only Citrus and Collier levy no surtax at all, so they sit at the 6% floor, while Hamilton stands alone at the 8% ceiling. Tampa (Hillsborough) is 7.5% and Orlando (Orange) is 6.5%. Note that the $5,000 cap does not apply to rentals of real property, transient rentals, admissions, or services, which are surtaxed on the full amount.
Two further wrinkles worth knowing: the surtax follows the delivery address, not the store's location, and many county surtaxes are voter-approved with fixed expiry dates (Brevard's 1% is set to lapse on December 31, 2026), so the combined rate you owe can change part way through a year.
