How Florida Paychecks Are Taxed in 2026
Florida has no personal income tax, so wages are only subject to federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare. The state relies mainly on sales tax and tourism-related revenue.
Because Florida does not tax wages, the only taxes withheld from a typical paycheck are federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%). That makes the federal side, your filing status and pre-tax deductions such as a 401(k) or HSA the main things that change your take-home pay.
As a reference point, a single filer in Florida earning $60,000 with no pre-tax deductions keeps about $50,390 a year, or roughly $1,938.07 per bi-weekly paycheck. Enter your own pay above to see your numbers.
Florida Paycheck Taxes at a Glance
What Still Comes Out of a Florida Paycheck
No state income tax doesn't mean no withholding. For a single Florida worker earning $60,000 and paid every two weeks, each paycheck looks like this:
That's 84% of every paycheck kept. Compared with a state that taxes wages, the difference grows with income, which is why Florida is popular with higher earners and remote workers.
Federal and Florida Payroll Taxes
Payroll taxes are separate from income tax and work the same in every state: Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 in 2026, and Medicare is 1.45% of all wages, with an extra 0.9% withheld on wages over $200,000.
Florida does not withhold a statewide employee payroll tax such as disability or paid family leave insurance.
