Florida Paycheck Calculator

No. Florida has no personal income tax of any kind. Wages, salaries, tips, and self-employment income are all free from state tax. Florida is one of nine states with no income tax and funds its budget through a 6% sales tax and other fees.

Very unlikely. Florida's constitution (Article 7, Section 5) prohibits a personal income tax, and amending it requires a 60% supermajority vote in a statewide referendum. Politically, no serious effort to add one has gained traction. Floridians and retirees relocating from high-tax states consider this a foundational advantage.

Florida does not have SDI (State Disability Insurance) or SUI (State Unemployment Insurance) withheld from employee paychecks. Your employer pays the employer-side unemployment tax, but nothing is withheld from your wages for these programs. Your paycheck deductions are purely federal.

FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) funds Social Security and Medicare. Employees pay 6.2% of wages toward Social Security (up to the $176,100 wage base in 2026) and 1.45% toward Medicare with no cap. These deductions apply in every state — they are federal, not state, taxes.

Gross pay is your salary or hourly wages before any deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what you actually receive after federal income tax, FICA, state income tax, and any voluntary deductions like health insurance or 401(k) contributions are withheld. This calculator shows both.
