Frequently asked questions

Does Florida have a state income tax?

No. Florida does not tax wage or salary income, so no state income tax is withheld from your paycheck.

What's the difference between gross pay and take-home pay?

Gross pay is your salary before any deductions. Take-home (net) pay is what actually lands in your account after federal, state, FICA, and local taxes plus any payroll deductions. The gap is commonly 20–35% of gross.

Is this calculator up to date for 2026?

Yes. It uses the 2026 federal tax brackets, the 2026 Social Security wage base, and each state's latest official rates. It estimates the tax you'll actually owe, and an optional withholding mode estimates what your employer takes out of each paycheck.
