How the Florida Paycheck Calculator Works
In fact, Florida is one of the few states with no personal income tax. Therefore, your paycheck has only three main taxes, and all of them are federal.
Firstly, it applies the 2026 IRS brackets after the standard deduction.
Then it takes 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare.
Finally, it subtracts 401(k) and pre-tax benefits from your pay.
The formula
Net pay = Gross pay − federal tax − 7.65% FICA − 401(k) − benefits
