Salary to paycheck
Your salary is divided by the number of paychecks in the year: 52 weekly, 26 every two weeks, 24 twice a month, or 12 monthly. Every-two-weeks pay gives 26 checks, so two months a year have three paydays.
A traditional 401(k) lowers the pay federal income tax is worked out on, but not Social Security or Medicare. A Roth 401(k) comes out after tax — enter it as an after-tax deduction.
With no state income tax, the gap between a Florida salary and take-home pay is only federal tax plus Social Security and Medicare, and whatever benefits you choose. The table above shows how much of a common salary you keep.
What comes out of a Florida paycheck
- Federal income tax withholding — worked out from your pay and your Form W-4, using the IRS tables for 2026.
- Social Security — 6.2% of your pay, up to $184,500 of pay in 2026. Above that, it stops for the rest of the year.
- Medicare — 1.45% of all your pay, plus 0.9% on pay above $200,000 in the year.
Florida has no state income tax, no state disability insurance and no city or county income tax. So a Florida paycheck has only the federal deductions above taken out, plus whatever you chose, such as a 401(k) or health insurance.
Florida's reemployment (unemployment) tax is paid by your employer. It never comes out of your pay.

Is overtime taxed more in Florida?
No. Overtime is added to your paycheck and taxed at the same rates; a bigger paycheck can simply fall into a higher withholding bracket for that pay period. From 2025 to 2028 you may be able to deduct part of your overtime on your federal return.
What is the minimum wage in Florida?
$15 an hour from September 30, 2026 ($11.98 cash wage for tipped employees). Before September 30, 2026 it was $14.00. From 2027 it rises each year with inflation.
