What this rate covers

Florida caps the 1% county surtax at the first $5,000 of any ONE item of tangible personal property — not at $5,000 per receipt, so a multi-item total pays the surtax on the whole amount. Items normally sold in bulk, or that assemble into one working unit, count as a single item. The cap does not apply to admissions, transient rentals, services, service warranties, motor-vehicle parking or storage, boat dock or marina charges, aircraft tie-down, or prepaid calling arrangements.

Miami sales tax questions

What is the sales tax rate in Miami in 2026?

The combined general sales tax rate used for Miami is 7%. Florida caps the 1% county surtax at the first $5,000 of any ONE item of tangible personal property — not at $5,000 per receipt, so a multi-item total pays the surtax on the whole amount. Items normally sold in bulk, or that assemble into one working unit, count as a single item. The cap does not apply to admissions, transient rentals, services, service warranties, motor-vehicle parking or storage, boat dock or marina charges, aircraft tie-down, or prepaid calling arrangements.

How do I calculate sales tax in Miami?

Multiply the taxable purchase price by 7%, then add the tax to the pre-tax price. A $100 general taxable purchase produces $7.00 of tax. That covers a receipt with more than one item. For a single item above $5,000, the Miami-Dade County surtax stops at the first $5,000, so the rate on the rest of that item is 6%.

Does every purchase in Miami use the 7% rate?

No. Florida caps the 1% county surtax at the first $5,000 of any ONE item of tangible personal property — not at $5,000 per receipt, so a multi-item total pays the surtax on the whole amount. Items normally sold in bulk, or that assemble into one working unit, count as a single item. The cap does not apply to admissions, transient rentals, services, service warranties, motor-vehicle parking or storage, boat dock or marina charges, aircraft tie-down, or prepaid calling arrangements. Use the linked tax authority or an address-level lookup before filing or charging customers.

Is Miami sales tax based on the seller or delivery address?

Sourcing rules vary by state and transaction type. Remote sales and delivered goods often follow the destination, while some in-state sales use origin-based rules. Confirm the transaction with the linked state or local authority.

Does this calculator file or collect Miami sales tax?

No. It estimates tax on a general purchase. Businesses must use the applicable state or local registration, return and payment system.
