Florida's 6% vehicle sales tax applies to the full price; the documented 1.0% Miami area surtax applies only to the first $5,000. At the $31,500 representative market price used here, that produces an estimated $1,940 vehicle tax.
The Miami location record lists typical documentation fees of $799-$1,199 and registration costs of $225 + weight-based fee. The calculator keeps the canonical Florida documentation-fee benchmark of $999 and uses $400 as a planning estimate when registration depends on vehicle weight, value, or trim. That puts the representative Camry at about $34,839 out the door.
The existing Toyota Camry profile spans $27,495 to $36,495. Higher trims increase tax and any value-based registration charge, so the table is a planning baseline rather than a dealer quote.
