Florida paycheck taxes at a glance (2026)

Florida's constitution doesn't allow a personal income tax, so no Florida tax is withheld from wages. Florida also has no state disability or paid family leave payroll tax. Federal taxes are the only taxes on a Florida paycheck.

How your Florida paycheck is calculated

1. Gross pay: salary ÷ paychecks per year, or hourly rate × hours (+1.5× for overtime over 40 hours a week).
2. Minus pre-tax deductions: 401(k), HSA and Section 125 health premiums.
3. Federal income tax: taxable income = yearly pay − pre-tax deductions − standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 married filing jointly / $24,150 head of household). Then the 2026 brackets apply.
4. Social Security: 6.2%. Medicare: 1.45%.
5. Florida state tax: $0.
6. Net pay = what's left after all of the above.

2026 federal tax brackets (single): 10% to $12,400 · 12% to $50,400 · 22% to $105,700 · 24% to $201,775 · 32% to $256,225 · 35% to $640,600 · 37% above.

Worked example: $50,000 salary in Florida

A single worker in Florida earns $50,000 a year, is paid every two weeks (26 paychecks), and has no pre-tax deductions.

1. Taxable income: $50,000 − $16,100 = $33,900
2. Federal income tax: 10% × $12,400 = $1,240, plus 12% × ($33,900 − $12,400) = 12% × $21,500 = $2,580. Total: $3,820
3. Social Security: 6.2% × $50,000 = $3,100
4. Medicare: 1.45% × $50,000 = $725
5. Florida state income tax: $0

Per-paycheck amounts are rounded to the cent. A $50,000 salary in Florida leaves about $42,355 a year, or $3,530 a month, which is 84.7% of gross pay. In a state with a 5% income tax, the same worker could lose roughly $1,700 or more a year to state tax.

Florida hourly pay after taxes (2026)

Single filer, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks, no deductions:

Florida minimum wage

Florida voters approved yearly minimum wage increases (Amendment 2, 2020). The minimum wage was $14.00 an hour until September 29, 2026, and is $15.00 an hour from September 30, 2026. Future increases follow inflation (first inflation adjustment expected in 2028). Tipped employees can be paid a cash wage of $11.98 an hour (the $15.00 minimum minus a fixed $3.02 tip credit), as long as tips bring them up to at least $15.00.

At $15.00 an hour, full time, a single worker takes home about $524 a week (see the table above).

Florida paycheck tips

• No state return for wages. Florida residents don't file a state income tax return for wages. You still file a federal return.
• Moving to Florida? Your old state may tax income earned before you moved. Make sure your employer updates your work state in payroll.
• Remote workers: if your employer is in another state, check that no other state's tax is being withheld by mistake.
• New 2025–2028 deductions: eligible Florida workers in tipped jobs (restaurants, hospitality, tourism) and workers who earn overtime may deduct qualified tips (up to $25,000) and overtime premium pay (up to $12,500) on their federal return. See the overtime tax calculator.
