Paycheck taxes in Florida

Florida's lack of an income tax is not a policy a future legislature could quietly reverse — it is written into the state constitution. Article VII, Section 5(a) bars any tax on the income of natural persons who are residents or citizens of the state, beyond amounts creditable against a similar federal or state tax. That protection pointedly stops at people: subsection (b) contemplates taxing the income of residents other than natural persons, which is why Florida businesses still face a corporate income tax while individuals face none. Day to day the state runs on a 6% general sales tax with oddly specific carve-outs — new mobile homes at 3%, amusement machine receipts at 4%, and electricity at 6.95% — plus the discretionary county surtax that many Florida counties add on top.

Bonuses and supplemental wages in Florida

Florida has no state income tax, so a bonus carries no state supplemental withholding at all — whichever method your employer uses, the state takes nothing. Only federal supplemental withholding applies, which is a flat 22% on supplemental wages up to $1 million.

For the federal half, which this site does model, compare what withholding takes from a bonus against what you actually owe — the 22% flat rate is withholding, not a tax bill, and the difference comes back at filing.

Florida vs. its neighbors

On a $100,000 salary you keep $79,180 in Florida — $4,735 more than in neighboring Alabama, $4,241 more than in Georgia, and $3,481 more than in North Carolina.

Florida levies no state income tax, so any gap above is state income tax paid by the other states — federal income tax and FICA are identical everywhere. Single filer, $100,000 of wages, no 401(k) or other pre-tax deductions, 2025 state tables. Local income taxes (city and county) are not included. Run your own salary through the calculator above, or on any state's page.

Neighbours are only part of the picture. The study behind these figures ranks what a $100,000 salary takes home in all 50 states, with Florida's row in place — the entire spread between best and worst is state income tax, since federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere.

A worked example at Florida's median income

Florida's median household income is $75,630 (2024, U.S. Census Bureau via FRED (real median household income)). Run through the same engine as the calculator above (single filer, taxes only):

That is an effective all-in tax rate of 18.0% at the median — your own number depends on filing status, 401(k), and benefits. Enter your salary above for the exact figure.
