How It Works
Florida’s statewide base sales tax rate is 6%. To add tax, the calculator multiplies the price by 6% and adds it to give the total. To remove it, it divides the total by 1.0600 to recover the pre-tax price and reveal the tax portion. Most counties add a discretionary surtax of 0.5–1.5% on top of the 6% state rate.
