Florida Tax, Title & License Calculator

Florida TTL combines separate government charges rather than one statewide flat fee. The calculator can include:

• 6% Florida state motor vehicle sales tax
• Purchaser-county discretionary sales surtax
• The supported ordinary electronic title amount
• Weight-based private automobile registration
• The $225 Initial Registration Fee and $28 new plate fee when applicable

Dealer documentation fees, optional protection products, loan interest, down payments, and other financing costs are not automatically government TTL.

Tax

The taxable selling amount includes the vehicle price and supported taxable additions, less a qualifying trade-in. Florida state tax is 6%. County discretionary sales surtax uses the purchaser's residence county and generally applies only to the first $5,000.

Title

The selected ordinary electronic, no-lien title path determines whether the supported amount is $77.25, $75.25, or $85.25.

Registration and plate

Private-auto registration depends on net weight and term. The calculator separately decides whether the $225 Initial Registration Fee and $28 new metal plate fee belong in the estimate.

• Original title for a new vehicle (MCO): $77.25
• Used vehicle already titled in Florida: $75.25
• Vehicle previously titled or registered outside Florida: $85.25

The out-of-state path includes an additional statutory amount, which is why it differs from an ordinary Florida title transaction. These figures cover the supported ordinary electronic, no-lien paths. The $77.25 original new-vehicle amount includes the $2 Lemon Law fee; do not add that fee a second time.

Fast title, paper-title delivery, lien recording, rebuilt inspection, and late-title penalties are not included.

Two buyers can purchase vehicles for the same price and still receive different Florida TTL estimates. A buyer with an eligible Florida plate to transfer may avoid both a new metal plate charge and the supported $225 Initial Registration Fee path.

A buyer without a qualifying plate may owe the $225 fee and need a $28 plate. Selecting “Not sure” keeps either amount outside the exact total and identifies it as a possible fee.
