Tips for Florida workers
- Moving from a taxed state? A worker earning $60,000 who moves from a state with a 5% income tax keeps roughly $2,500–$3,000 more per year in Florida.
- Update your W-4 after marriage, a new child or a second job; Step 2 or 4(c) prevents under-withholding with two incomes.
- Tipped employees: Florida's tipped minimum wage is the regular minimum minus $3.02 per hour, and tips must make up the difference.
- Plan for property and sales tax: Florida's 6% state sales tax plus local surtaxes and property taxes fund the state instead of income tax.
Frequently asked questions
Does Florida have a state income tax?
No. Florida does not tax wages or personal income, and no Florida city or county has a local income tax. Your paycheck is only reduced by federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and your own deductions.
What taxes come out of a Florida paycheck?
Federal income tax withholding based on your W-4, Social Security tax of 6.2% up to $184,500 of 2026 wages, and Medicare tax of 1.45% plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000. Florida reemployment (unemployment) tax is paid by employers, not deducted from employees.
How much is $60,000 a year after taxes in Florida?
For a single filer paid biweekly in 2026 with no deductions, federal withholding is about $5,020 a year and FICA $4,590, leaving roughly $50,390, or about $1,938 per paycheck. Use the calculator for your exact deductions.
How is federal withholding calculated?
This calculator follows IRS Publication 15-T 2026 Worksheet 1A: it annualizes taxable wages, adds W-4 Step 4(a) income, subtracts Step 4(b) deductions and the standard adjustment, applies the withholding brackets, subtracts Step 3 credits and adds Step 4(c) extra withholding.
What is the minimum wage in Florida?
Florida's minimum wage rose to $14.00 per hour on September 30, 2025 and goes up to $15.00 per hour on September 30, 2026, under the schedule voters approved in 2020.
Why do 401(k) and health insurance deductions affect taxes differently?
Traditional 401(k) contributions lower federal income tax withholding but not Social Security and Medicare. Section 125 benefits such as health premiums, FSA and payroll HSA contributions lower both.
Why is my real paycheck slightly different?
Employers may use the wage-bracket tables, round amounts, or include benefits like group-term life insurance. Bonuses are often withheld at a flat 22%. Check your pay stub for exact figures.
