Car Loan Calculator Detailed for Florida

Calculate by State >  Florida 

How are car loans in Florida calculated?

Florida includes the sale price and the doc fee in the taxable amount of an auto loan but does not include the trade-in value.

Therefore, car buyers get a tax break on trade-in vehicles in Florida.

The state tax rate is 6%, but the total tax must include a county surtax ranging from 1/2% to 2% levied upon a maximum of $5000 of the taxable value. Some counties do not charge the surtax.
