Explain calculation
We reverse the tax using the standard formula:
Convert the rate to a decimal (e.g. 8.25% → 0.0825).
Divide the final price by (1 + rate) to get the pre-tax amount.
Subtract pre-tax from final to get the tax portion.

Six percent state plus county discretionary surtax
Tallahassee sets the statewide rate at 6%, then Florida counties may adopt discretionary surtax in increments that raise combined rates to 7%, 7.5%, or higher depending on local adoption.

Florida sales tax holidays, when announced, apply to specific categories and dates—use the standard combined rate after the holiday unless the receipt shows a promotional reduction.
