How Does Florida Tax Your Paycheck in 2026?

What Florida-specific taxes affect your paycheck?
Florida levies no state income tax and no local or city income tax, so your only mandatory wage withholding is federal: income tax plus FICA (Social Security 6.2 percent up to the 2026 wage base of 184,500 dollars, and Medicare 1.45 percent with an extra 0.9 percent above 200,000 dollars). Because there is no state tax, there is no Florida state withholding form; employers rely solely on your federal Form W-4.
What Florida does not deduct
Unlike California, New Jersey, or New York, Florida has no state disability insurance (SDI) and no state paid family or medical leave program. Those payroll lines always read zero on a Florida paycheck.
Employer-side and other Florida taxes
- Florida Reemployment Tax (the state name for SUI/SUTA): paid by employers, not withheld from workers. The new-employer rate is 2.7 percent on the first 7,000 dollars of each employee's wages, with experience-rated employers ranging from 0.1 to 5.4 percent, reported on Form RT-6.
- Sales tax: a 6 percent state rate plus a county discretionary surtax — a cost-of-living factor, not paycheck withholding.
- Minimum wage: under a 2020 constitutional amendment, Florida's minimum wage rises 1 dollar each September 30 and reaches 15 dollars per hour on September 30, 2026. It is administered by the Florida Department of Commerce, not the Department of Revenue.
For context, Florida's median household income is about 74,568 dollars (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 American Community Survey). The absence of state income tax typically leaves Florida take-home pay higher than in most states at the same gross salary.

How Does the 2026 Federal Deduction Affect Overtime in Florida?
Under the federal OBBBA overtime tax deduction (valid for tax years 2025 through 2028), the 0.5x premium portion of your time-and-a-half overtime rate is exempt from federal income tax. This deduction is capped at $12,500 for single W-2 filers and $25,000 for married couples filing jointly. You still owe FICA and state income taxes on this premium portion.
