Sales tax: Vehicle price × your entered rate. Florida charges 6% state sales tax. Most counties add a discretionary surcharge of 0.5–2.5% on the first $5,000 of the purchase price. This calculator applies your entered rate to the full price as a simplified estimate.
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.
