The legal tint limit for every window position in Florida (28% on the front sides), checked against your own film's VLT, with the medical exemption and what a ticket costs.

VLT (visible light transmission) is the share of light the film lets through; a lower number is darker. It is printed on the film packaging or your installation receipt. Leave it blank to just read the limits.
Enter your film's VLT above to check it against each Florida window limit, or read the limits as they stand.
Sedan floors shown. Multipurpose vehicles (SUV/van/truck) may go down to 6% VLT on windows behind the driver (§316.2954). Measurements carry a ±3% tolerance (§316.2955).
Film is sold by its own VLT, but police measure the installed darkness: the film combined with your factory glass, which reads darker than the film alone. These are the Florida figures stated as information, not a determination about any stop or ticket.
Informational only, not legal advice. Reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. See the full rules, the exemption steps, and the citations on the Florida window tint reference, cited to Fla. Stat. §§316.2951–316.2957.
How the Florida tint rules work
Florida uses a three-tier system: 28% on the front doors, 15% behind the driver for sedans, and a genuine 6% floor, not "anything goes", for SUVs, vans, and trucks. The windshield rule is the federal AS-1 line, with no inch figure in the statute, and measurements carry a ±3% tolerance.
This checker applies the Florida figures to the VLT you enter. It is informational only and not legal advice: reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. For the full rules, the shades table, and the citations, see the Florida window tint reference, cited to Fla. Stat. §§316.2951–316.2957.
