About this tool

Ring up a sale in Florida and the arithmetic rarely stops at the 6 percent state rate: county discretionary surtaxes, which run as high as 2.5 percent, layer on top and push the average combined figure to approximately 7 percent. This calculator handles both directions of that math. Enter a price and the combined rate to see the tax and the final total, or switch the mode to Remove and feed in a receipt total to recover the pre-tax figure. A 500 dollar order at 6 percent adds 30.00 for a 530.00 total, while the same order in a surtax county at 8 percent comes to 540.00. Groceries are exempt, prepared restaurant food is not, and tourist counties tack on extra surtax lines that show up separately on receipts. Estimates depend on the combined rate entered; Florida county surtaxes and item caps alter totals. Verify with the Florida Department of Revenue. Not tax advice.Surtax is collected on the first 5,000 dollars of a single item's price in Florida, a cap that matters for equipment and large purchases. Rental cars, commercial rent, and hotel stays follow separate rate schedules. When a county changes its surtax, the new rate generally applies to taxable transactions on or after the effective date.
