Sales tax: We apply the 6% state tax to the vehicle price, taxable dealer fees, and taxable add-ons sold with the car. We apply your county rate to the first $5,000 of that amount. We add separately listed state title and registration fees after tax.
Government / title fees: Added at the value you enter. These typically include FL registration, electronic title, and state filing charges. Actual amounts vary by vehicle weight, county, and plate type.
Dealer / doc fees: Added at the value you enter. Florida does not cap dealer documentation fees. This calculator categorizes them as dealer-imposed so you can ask for itemization.
Add-ons: Added at the value you enter. These may include paint protection, nitrogen, VIN etching, fabric coating, or accessory packages. This calculator categorizes them as potentially negotiable.
Out-the-door total: Vehicle price + estimated sales tax + government fees + dealer fees + add-ons. This is an educational estimate. Confirm all charges in your written purchase documents.
This is the price and tax information entered into the calculator. Florida charges 6% state sales tax plus a county discretionary surcharge. Confirm your county's rate with the dealer or Florida DOR.
