How the rate is built
What Florida actually charges
- The rate is set in statute: section 212.05(1)(a)1.a. levies the tax "at the rate of 6 percent of the sales price of each item or article of tangible personal property when sold at retail in this state."
- Counties may levy a discretionary sales surtax on top of the state rate. The surtax is set county by county, so the rate you actually pay depends on where the sale happens.
- Some categories are taxed differently under the same chapter — the 6% figure is the general rate on tangible personal property.
- Florida has no wage income tax.

Common questions
Florida sales tax, in plain terms
What is the sales tax rate in Florida?
The Florida state rate is 6%. Counties, cities and special districts add their own rate on top, so what you pay at the register is usually higher than the state rate alone.
How much is sales tax on $100 in Florida?
At the 6% state rate, $100 becomes $106.00 — $6.00 of tax. Add your local rate in the calculator above for the figure you will actually be charged.
How do I work out the tax that is already inside a total?
Switch the calculator to "Take tax out of a total" and enter the amount on the receipt. It divides by one plus the rate rather than subtracting the rate, which is the part people usually get wrong — taking 7% off a total is not the same as the total being 7% tax.
Does this include Florida city and county taxes?
Not automatically. Local rates are set by thousands of separate jurisdictions and change on their own schedules, so this calculator asks you for yours instead of guessing. Your receipt or your county revenue office has the exact figure.
