How Florida taxes your paycheck

Florida does not tax wages. A Florida paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500 of wages in 2026) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000).

Other payroll items: Florida has no state income tax and no local income taxes, so only federal income tax and FICA come out of a Florida paycheck.

Worked example

A single filer in Florida earning $80,000 a year, paid every two weeks with no pre-tax deductions: federal income tax is $8,770 and FICA is $6,120, leaving $65,110 a year, or about $2,504 per paycheck. A married couple filing jointly on $120,000 keeps about $100,780 a year.

taxable income = salary − pre-tax deductions − standard deduction
federal tax = 2026 federal brackets (standard deduction $16,100 single / $32,200 married)
Florida tax = $0 (no tax on wages)
FICA = 6.2% Social Security (to $184,500) + 1.45% Medicare (+0.9% over $200,000)
per paycheck = (salary − all taxes − pre-tax deductions) ÷ pay periods

Local taxes and state payroll programs mentioned above are not included, and your actual withholding also depends on your W-4 and any state withholding certificate. State figures are the 2026 rates and brackets published by Florida, as compiled by the Tax Foundation.
