Estimated annual sales tax on a median household
A Miami household at the median income of $54,858 spending roughly a quarter of pre-tax income on taxable retail goods would pay about $960 a year in sales tax at 7%. This is an illustration, not a filing figure: the taxable share of spending varies with household composition, and Florida exempts or discounts several categories. Miami-Dade's surtax splits between transit and health system funding, and like all Florida surtaxes it caps out on the first $5,000 of an item.
Method: median household income × 25% taxable share × combined rate. The 25% share is a rough national benchmark from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey, not a Miami-specific measurement.
