Frequently Asked Questions

How is sales tax calculated in Florida?
Sales tax in Florida is calculated by multiplying the pretax price by the sales tax rate. This page starts with the average combined rate of 6.98%, which includes the 6% state rate plus average local taxes.
Why might my actual Florida sales tax rate be different?
County, city, district, and item-specific rules can change the final rate. Use the default 6.98% rate as a quick estimate, then edit the calculator rate if your receipt, checkout page, or local tax authority shows a different value.
Do I pay sales tax on online purchases shipped to Florida?
Usually, yes. Most online retailers collect sales tax based on the shipping destination. If the order ships to a Florida address, the rate may depend on the destination city or county.
Are all items taxable in Florida?
No. Some products or services may be exempt, reduced-rate, or taxed differently. This calculator estimates the math once you know the rate; check the Florida tax authority for item-specific rules.
