car flipping calculator | net profit per car, max bid price, dealer-license sale count
Car flipping calculator for private and auction car flippers: buy price, auction fee, sales tax, title, transport, parts, detailing and days held become net profit, ROI…
Example (made-up): a 2014 Honda Civic bought at auction for $6,200 and sold for $9,400 looks like a $3,200 flip. After the auction fee, 6% sales tax, title, transport, parts, detailing and 28 days of holding cost it nets $961.00: $2,239.00 of the spread is gone. To keep $1,500, the most you could have paid was $5,691.
Type your own car: every cost line, the profit per day you held it, the break-even sale price and your highest bid for the profit you want. It also counts this sale against your state's dealer-license line (Florida: 3 sales in any 12 months). No account: your numbers stay in this browser.

A calculation and record tool for your own cars, not legal or tax advice. Dealer lines differ by state and some count offers or displays, not only sales: Florida presumes you are a dealer at three or more vehicles bought, sold or offered in any 12-month period (Fla. Stat. 320.27(1)(c), flsenate.gov, read 2026-11-13). For any other state, enter the number from your DMV. Fees and tax rates are yours: take them from the auction invoice and your county.
