How to calculate Florida sales tax
To add tax, multiply the price before tax by 6% and add it on. To find the price before tax inside a total, divide the total by 1.06. Taking 6% off the total gives the wrong answer, because the tax was charged on the smaller pre-tax price.
Tax = Price × 6 ÷ 100 Price before tax = Total ÷ 1.06
| Price before tax | $250.00 |
|---|---|
| Sales tax at 6% | $15.00 |
| Total | $265.00 |

Selling to Florida from another state
Since the 2018 South Dakota v. Wayfair decision, states can require out-of-state sellers to collect sales tax once their sales into the state pass an economic nexus threshold, even without a physical presence. Marketplaces such as Amazon and Etsy usually collect and pay the tax for sales made through them. Check the Florida revenue department for the current threshold and registration steps.
