What comes out of a Florida paycheck
With no state income tax, a Florida paycheck has the same deductions as one in Texas: federal income tax under the IRS Publication 15-T tables, 6.2% Social Security and 1.45% Medicare. Florida’s reemployment (unemployment) tax is paid entirely by employers.
Florida raises revenue through a 6% state sales tax plus county surtaxes, tourism taxes and property taxes.
