How Florida paycheck works — complete guide

Why Florida workers keep more money than other states

Florida has no state income tax — one of only 9 states in the US with this benefit. This means every paycheck in Florida is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA contributions (Social Security + Medicare). No state withholding, no local income taxes in most Florida cities.

A worker earning $75,000/year in Florida takes home approximately $60,008 annually — compared to $52,000–$55,000 in high-tax states like California or New York. That is a real difference of $5,000–$8,000 per year more in your pocket — every single year.

FICA deductions explained (Social Security + Medicare)

Every Florida employee pays Social Security at 6.2% on wages up to $168,600 per year (2026 wage base), and Medicare at 1.45% on all wages with no cap. These are federal requirements — the same in all 50 states.

High earners above $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly) pay an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax. Your employer also pays a matching 6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare on your behalf (not deducted from your paycheck but part of your total compensation cost).

Frequently asked questions

Does Florida have state income tax in 2026?+

No. Florida has no state income tax — one of only 9 states in the US. Your paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%). This makes Florida one of the most tax-friendly states for workers and is why many people relocate there from high-tax states.

How is a Florida paycheck calculated?+

Gross pay minus federal income tax (based on 2026 IRS brackets and your W-4 withholding) minus Social Security (6.2%) minus Medicare (1.45%) equals your net take-home pay. Florida has zero state income tax, so no state deduction applies. Example: $75,000 salary → ~$60,008 annual take-home (biweekly: $2,308 per paycheck).

What is the Florida minimum wage in 2026?+

Florida's minimum wage is $13.00 per hour as of 2026. It increases annually under Amendment 2 passed by voters in 2020, with the goal of reaching $15/hr. Tipped employees may have a lower direct wage with tip credits applied. Some cities may have higher local minimum wage rates.

How much is taken out of a Florida paycheck?+

On a $75,000 annual salary (single filer, biweekly): approximately $8,760 federal income tax + $4,650 Social Security + $1,088 Medicare = $14,498 total annual deductions. Annual take-home is approximately $60,502. State income tax = $0 in Florida. Your exact deductions depend on your W-4 withholding, filing status, and any pre-tax deductions like 401(k).
