Florida income tax in 2026
Florida is one of the states with no personal income tax on wages, so your paycheck only has federal withholding and FICA taken out.
What makes Florida different
Florida’s constitution prohibits a state personal income tax, so wages, bonuses and retirement income are untaxed at the state level. The state relies on a 6% sales tax plus county discretionary surtaxes, and on tourism-related taxes. Florida residents also pay no state tax on Social Security or pension income, which is one reason the state is popular with retirees.
- Florida has no state personal income tax (Florida Constitution, Art. VII, §5).
- Only federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare come out of a Florida paycheck.

Your Florida take-home pay is gross pay minus federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and any pre-tax deductions you enter. On a $100,000 salary a single filer in Florida keeps about $79,180 a year in 2026.
Tips
- Because Florida has no wage tax, pre-tax 401(k) and health deductions only save federal tax here. They still lower your taxable income.
- Update your federal W-4 (and state form, if any) after major life changes.
- Compare with other states: Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois.
