Sales Tax Calculator — Florida
Florida levies 6% statewide, and counties add a discretionary sales surtax that lifts the average combined rate to 6.98%. The surtax often applies only to the first $5,000 of a single item, and Florida runs popular sales-tax holidays on back-to-school and disaster-preparedness goods.

Breakdown
Florida's statewide base rate is 6% and its average combined state + local rate is 6.98% (pre-filled). The rate is editable because local rates vary by exact address and some items are exempt or taxed differently. Statewide rates are from the Tax Foundation, 2026. An estimate, not tax advice.
A 6% base with modest county surtax
Florida charges 6% statewide, and county discretionary surtaxes add a relatively modest amount, lifting the average combined rate to 6.98% — an average local add-on near 1 percentage point. The combined rate stays close to the state base in most counties.
A Florida quirk is that the county surtax often applies only to the first $5,000 of a single item, so large purchases can be taxed at an effective rate below the combined figure. Enter your county's rate for everyday purchases; some items may be taxed differently. This is an estimate, not tax advice.
