Florida levies no state income tax, so only federal tax and FICA come out of your gross pay.
What this calculator does
Florida levies no personal income tax, so a Florida paycheck loses only federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare. There is no state withholding line and no local income tax in any Florida city or county.
Florida employers do pay a reemployment tax that funds unemployment benefits, but this is an employer cost and is never deducted from employee wages, so it does not appear on your payslip.
For anyone comparing an offer against a state such as California or New York, the absence of state withholding is worth roughly five to nine percent of gross pay, which is often the single largest factor in a relocation calculation.
A worked example
Take the starting scenario, a pay basis of Annual salary. That gives a take-home pay of $1,977.15. Underneath, Gross per period comes out at $2,500 and Federal income tax at $206.6. Change any field and every figure updates as you type.
How to use it
- Enter your pay amount and how often you are paid.
- Set your filing status, state and tax year.
- Add pre-tax deductions to see how they change the net figure.
