Living and working in Florida
Florida’s homestead exemption takes up to $50,000 off the assessed value of a primary home, and the Save Our Homes rule caps yearly increases in that assessed value at 3% or the inflation rate, whichever is lower, so long-time owners often pay far less than new buyers.
Florida's state sales tax is 6.00%; with local add-ons the average combined rate is 6.98%, ranked 28 of 51 as of July 2026.
Florida has no income tax and constitutionally prohibits one. The revenue comes from sales tax and from property tax, which is high in much of the state.
Florida paycheck questions
How much is take-home pay on $60,000 in Florida?
A single filer paid $60,000 a year every two weeks, with no pre-tax benefits, takes home about $1,938.08 a paycheck in Florida ($50,390 a year). Each $2,307.69 paycheck loses $193.08 to federal income tax, $176.54 to Social Security and Medicare.
Does Florida withhold state income tax from paychecks?
No. Florida has no income tax on wages, so there is no state withholding certificate to fill in and no state income tax line on your pay stub. Florida takes nothing for state income tax or state disability, so a Florida paycheck carries only federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare. That makes the federal W-4 the only withholding choice that matters.
If Florida has no income tax, what does it tax instead?
Florida leans on sales tax and on tourism: a large share of the revenue is paid by visitors rather than residents, which is unusual and hard for other states to copy. The state sales tax rate is 6.00%, and with local add-ons the average combined rate is 6.98%, ranked 28 of 51 (Tax Foundation, July 2026). A bigger paycheck can be partly offset by what you pay at the register and in property tax.
What else does Florida take out of a paycheck?
Apart from income tax, Florida requires no other employee payroll deduction, so the remaining lines on your stub are federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and any benefits you chose.
How are bonuses withheld in Florida?
Federally, a bonus paid separately is usually withheld at a flat 22% (37% on supplemental pay above $1 million in the year). For Florida: None: no state tax is withheld from bonuses.
