Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Florida good for take-home pay?
Florida has no state income tax, which means you keep more of your paycheck compared to states with income tax. This can result in significant savings, especially for higher earners. You only pay federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare taxes.
Do I still pay federal taxes in Florida?
Yes, living in Florida does not exempt you from federal income tax, Social Security tax (6.2%), and Medicare tax (1.45%). You still need to file federal tax returns and pay federal taxes based on your income level and filing status.
How accurate is this calculator?
This calculator provides estimates based on 2024 federal tax brackets and standard deductions. Actual paycheck amounts may vary based on additional factors like pre-tax deductions (401k, health insurance), overtime pay, bonuses, or other income adjustments.
Are there any other taxes in Florida?
While Florida has no state income tax, there are other taxes like sales tax (6% state rate plus local taxes), property taxes, and certain excise taxes. However, these do not affect your paycheck calculations as they are not payroll taxes.
How much do I save compared to other states?
Savings vary significantly by income level and state. For example, someone earning $75,000 might save $3,000-$6,000 annually compared to high-tax states like California or New York. The savings increase with higher income levels.
