How Florida taxes your paycheck
This page estimates what Florida takes out of your pay in 2026. The answer is nothing. Florida has no state income tax, and its constitution doesn't allow one on residents.
Florida also has no state disability or paid leave payroll tax. Employers pay the state's reemployment (unemployment) tax, and they may not take it out of your pay. Florida cities and counties don't tax wages either.
Your paycheck still has federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare taken out. For example, a single person earning $60,000 pays $0 in Florida income tax.
