What is the Florida Income Tax Calculator?
In short
Florida has no state income tax, so no state income tax is withheld from your paycheck. Florida leans on sales tax (~39% of state & local revenue, heavily paid by tourists) plus property taxes (~35%) and lodging/tourism taxes. Florida's no-income-tax status is among the oldest, dating to a 1924 constitutional amendment.
Because Florida has no state income tax, this page focuses on what actually funds the state and what your federal-only tax looks like. Florida leans on sales tax (~39% of state & local revenue, heavily paid by tourists) plus property taxes (~35%) and lodging/tourism taxes.

Worked example
The scenario
A Florida homeowner earning $75,000 (single filer) with a $400,000 homestead (assessed at $400,000 last year), $25,000 a year of taxable purchases, and a year in which local home prices jump 10%.
The result
With no state withholding, the paycheck keeps about $61,593 after federal tax and FICA. At the 0.89% median effective property tax rate (Tax Foundation, 2024) the home costs about $3,560 a year in property tax, and the shopping adds $1,500 at the 6% state sales tax before any county surtax. Now the 10% price jump: the market says the house is worth $440,000, but Save Our Homes lets a homestead's assessed value rise by no more than 3% (or inflation, if lower), so the assessment can reach at most $412,000. That gap of $28,000 is value the owner is not taxed on this year, and it compounds the longer they stay.
Common use cases
- Understanding how Florida pays for services without an income tax
- its tourism economy lets the 6% state sales tax capture revenue from non-residents — a defining feature of Florida's fiscal model
- a 2018 constitutional amendment requires a two-thirds legislative supermajority to raise any state tax or fee
- Checking whether Florida taxes any income (it doesn't)
Limitations & assumptions
- Florida has no state income tax, so this shows federal + FICA only. Florida has no individual income tax, but it does levy a 5.5% corporate income tax — so 'no income tax' applies only to individuals.
- Florida is one of only nine states with no individual income tax.
- Federal tax uses current brackets and the standard deduction unless you itemize.
- Use it for planning; it isn't a substitute for a tax professional.
