Florida Vehicle Sales Tax Calculator

The **Florida Vehicle Sales Tax Calculator** helps car buyers estimate the total sales tax owed when purchasing a vehicle in Florida. This tool takes into account the **purchase price**, **trade-in value**, and **local tax rates**, giving an accurate breakdown of tax costs before finalizing the deal.

Florida’s base vehicle sales tax rate is **6%**, with additional county discretionary sales surtaxes that may apply. Trade-ins are typically exempt from sales tax, which helps lower the taxable amount. If purchasing a car from a private seller, the same tax rate applies. Additionally, out-of-state buyers may have specific tax obligations based on residency and registration.

By using this calculator, buyers can plan ahead and avoid unexpected costs. Simply input the purchase price and any applicable deductions to get an estimate. Whether buying from a dealership or a private seller, this tool provides a clear understanding of the total tax burden, making car purchases more transparent and stress-free.
