About Florida State Tax Calculator
What the Florida State Tax Calculator does
The Florida State Tax Calculator estimates your total tax burden and net paycheck when you live or work in Florida, which does not impose a personal state income tax.
It focuses on federal income tax and FICA payroll taxes, while also highlighting Florida’s sales and property taxes so you can understand your overall cost of living.
Florida income tax basics
Florida has no individual state income tax, and the state constitution helps protect this policy, which is a major draw for residents and retirees.
Because of this, workers’ paychecks in Florida only show federal income tax and FICA withholding, not a separate state income tax deduction.
- Sales tax: Florida levies a 6% state sales tax, and counties can add up to about 1.5% or 2%, giving combined sales tax rates generally between 6% and 8%.
- Property tax: The state relies heavily on property tax, with a median effective rate around 0.75% of assessed value, varying by county.
- Corporate income tax: Florida charges roughly 5.5% corporate income tax on certain business profits, but individuals do not pay state income tax on wages or capital gains.
How the Florida State Tax Calculator works
- Step 1 – Calculate federal taxable income: The calculator starts with your gross pay, subtracts pre‑tax deductions, and applies federal standard or itemized deductions to get taxable income.
- Step 2 – Apply federal brackets: It uses current federal tax brackets based on your filing status to estimate your annual federal income tax.
- Step 3 – Add FICA payroll taxes: The tool applies Social Security and Medicare rates to your wages, observing the annual Social Security wage base.
- Step 4 – Assume zero FL income tax: Because Florida has no personal income tax, the state income‑tax line is kept at 0 USD while notes explain Florida’s sales and property tax environment.
- Step 5 – Show net pay and effective rate: After subtracting federal tax and FICA from your gross pay, the calculator displays your take‑home pay and overall tax rate as a share of income.
Outputs you will see
- Federal tax and FICA amounts: Annual and per‑paycheck federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
- Florida income‑tax line at zero: A clearly labeled 0 USD state income‑tax line confirms that wages are not taxed at the state level in Florida.
- Net paycheck by period: Take‑home pay shown per paycheck and per year so you can budget and compare job offers.
- Context on sales and property tax: Notes or optional estimates for sales and property taxes help you understand Florida’s broader tax picture despite the absence of income tax.
