How Your FL Paycheck Works

Florida paychecks include federal income tax withholding and FICA, but no Florida personal income tax withholding. Federal withholding is calculated under IRS Publication 15-T using the wage bracket or percentage method, based on taxable wages, payroll frequency, Form W-4 entries, and filing status.

FICA is separate from income tax withholding. Social Security is 6.2% on wages up to $184,500 in 2026, Medicare is 1.45% on all covered wages, and employers must withhold the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax once an employee's calendar-year wages exceed $200,000.

Florida does not impose a personal income tax, so there are no state wage withholding tables for individual income tax. Florida reemployment tax is paid by employers and is not a standard employee paycheck deduction.

Estimates assume standard 2026 withholding, single filing status, and no pre-tax deductions. Actual paycheck may differ.
