Florida Tax Overview

A Florida paycheck skips one line that workers in most states never escape: state income tax withholding. There isn't any. What leaves your gross pay is federal income tax, withheld according to the W-4 you filed with your employer and the IRS tables, plus the two FICA payroll taxes. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to the $184,500 base for 2026, and Medicare takes 1.45% with no cap at all.

Because no Tallahassee agency claims a cut, the gap between gross and net on a Florida stub is usually smaller than for someone earning the same salary in a state with an income tax. Pre-tax items still shrink the taxable figure first: a 401(k) deferral (up to $24,500 in 2026), health premiums, and HSA contributions all come out before federal tax is calculated. Florida also has no state disability or paid-leave deduction, so those rows are blank too.

Florida Paycheck FAQ

What taxes actually come out of a Florida paycheck?
Three federal items: federal income tax based on your W-4 and IRS withholding tables, Social Security at 6.2% up to the $184,500 wage base, and Medicare at 1.45% on all wages. Florida adds no state income tax, no state disability deduction, and no paid-family-leave premium. Local Florida governments do not levy a wage or payroll tax either.
Does moving to Florida automatically raise my take-home pay?
Your federal income tax and FICA stay exactly the same wherever you live in the US, so those deductions don't change. What disappears is the state income tax line you'd see in most other states, which is why the same gross salary nets more in Florida. The size of that boost depends on the rate your former state charged.
Why is extra Medicare tax sometimes withheld?
High earners pay an Additional Medicare Tax of 0.9% on wages above $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly), and the IRS requires employers to start withholding it once your pay passes $200,000 for the year, regardless of filing status. That can make your later paychecks slightly smaller. Any over- or under-withholding is reconciled on your federal return.
Do Florida employees still file a tax return?
You file a federal Form 1040 with the IRS every year, the same as everyone in the country. What you skip is a state return, because Florida has no individual income tax form to file. That removes a filing step and the related paperwork that residents of income-tax states deal with each spring.
