Florida Paycheck Calculator (2026)

See take-home pay for any salary in Florida for 2026. Enter an amount, or pick a common salary from the list to get federal tax, FICA, and Florida state tax broken out in full.

Florida has no state income tax: the state constitution prohibits taxing personal income, so nothing for state tax comes out of a Florida paycheck. That does not mean the check is untaxed. Federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) still apply in full, and for most workers those federal withholdings are the largest deductions on the stub. Florida also has no employee-paid disability or paid-leave premiums; its unemployment (reemployment) tax is paid entirely by employers. So your Florida take-home is simply gross pay minus federal tax and FICA, minus any benefits you elect. This page serves Florida workers who want a realistic take-home figure; the tables below show pay across salary levels for 2026.

Florida levies no personal income tax on wages; the Florida Constitution (Art. VII, Sec. 5) prohibits a state personal income tax. There are no employee-paid state payroll levies. The 2026 state minimum wage is $14.00/hr (about $29,120/yr full-time). Florida minimum wage is $14.00/hr in effect now; it steps to $15.00/hr on September 30, 2026 (final step of the 2020 constitutional glide path), after which annual increases are CPI-indexed. Rate recorded is the one currently in effect.

Frequently asked questions

How is take-home pay calculated in Florida?

We start with your gross salary and subtract the 2026 federal standard deduction for your filing status, then apply the federal tax brackets to what is left. FICA, the Social Security and Medicare tax, is added on the gross. On top of that comes the Florida state layer, using Florida's own brackets or flat rate and its deductions. The result is your estimated annual tax liability, which we divide across your pay periods to show weekly, biweekly, and monthly figures.

Does Florida tax bonuses differently?

A bonus is withheld using supplemental wage rules, which can differ from your regular paycheck. See the Florida bonus tax page for how the federal flat rate and the state layer apply.

Are these numbers withholding or final tax?

These are an annual tax-liability estimate, not the exact withholding from any one paycheck. The per-paycheck columns are the annual figure divided by the number of pay periods. Your employer's real withholding uses IRS payroll tables and can differ slightly, then reconciles when you file your return.
