Worked Example
Let's calculate the net proceeds for a $15,000 car sold to a private party:
Sale Price = $15,000
Arizona Sales Tax = $15,000 × 0.056 = $840
Registration Fee = $30
Title Fee = $10
Other Fees = $30
Net Proceeds = $15,000 - $840 - $30 - $10 - $30 = $13,950
Your net proceeds would be $13,950 after all fees and taxes.
