Read the full answer — method, rates and figures
Quick answer: Florida has no state income tax, so the only taxes taken from a Florida paycheck are federal: income tax withholding, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500 of wages) and Medicare (1.5%, plus 0.90% above $200,000). For 2026, a single filer earning $75,000 in Florida, paid every two weeks and putting 5% into a 401(k), takes home $2,256.44 from a $2,884.62 paycheck: $144.23 to the 401(k), $263.27 federal withholding and $220.67 Social Security and Medicare.
The same job in California takes home $2,155.38 — $2,628 a year less. Federal withholding follows IRS Publication 15-T (2026), the method payroll software uses.

Federal income tax withholding uses the IRS's 2026 Publication 15-T percentage method (Worksheet 1A), with a traditional 401(k) contribution taken out before income tax but not before Social Security and Medicare. Florida adds no state income tax.
The comparison table runs your inputs through each other state's own single-filer schedule (standard deduction and personal exemption included, credits and local taxes excluded), using the latest year the state has published — the same engine as the main paycheck calculator, which covers every state and the full Form W-4.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does Florida have a state income tax?
No. Florida does not tax wages, so no state income tax is withheld from your paycheck and there is no state income tax return to file for wages. Your paycheck deductions are federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and whatever you choose to have taken out for benefits (401(k), health insurance, HSA).
How much is $75,000 a year after taxes in Florida?
About $58,668 a year, or $2,256.44 every two weeks, for a single filer putting 5% into a 401(k) in 2026 ($62,418 before the 401(k) contribution). Federal income tax withholding is about $6,845 and Social Security plus Medicare about $5,738.
How much more do you take home in Florida than in other states?
On the same $75,000 salary, the difference is simply the other state's income tax: $2,628 a year against California in the example. The table on this page runs your own salary through eight states' 2026 or latest published single-filer schedules.
It does not include city income taxes (New York City, for example), which would widen the gap.
What taxes come out of a paycheck in Florida?
Federal income tax (withheld using your Form W-4), Social Security at 6.2% up to the $184,500 wage base in 2026, and Medicare at 1.5% with an extra 0.90% withheld once your wages pass $200,000 in the year. Nothing is withheld for state income tax.
Does no income tax mean Florida is cheaper overall?
Not necessarily. States without an income tax raise money in other ways, chiefly property and sales taxes, and housing and insurance costs vary a great deal between and within states.
A bigger paycheck is the part that is certain; compare the rest for the place you would actually live.
