Florida has no state income tax on wages. Your paycheck only loses federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, so you keep more of every raise.
Estimate only, based on 2026 federal and Florida rates. Your actual withholding depends on your W-4 and state forms. How we calculate.
Florida's constitution bans a personal income tax, so employers withhold nothing for the state. The only required deductions are federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500 in 2026) and Medicare (1.45%).
Florida also has no state disability or paid leave payroll tax, unlike California or New York. Optional deductions such as health insurance, a 401(k) or an HSA are the main reasons two Florida paychecks with the same salary look different.
The state raises money through a 6% sales tax, local surtaxes of up to about 2%, and property taxes. Homeowners can claim a homestead exemption that lowers the taxable value of their primary home.
