FAQs
1. Why no state tax in Florida?
Florida is one of nine states with no state income tax. The state generates revenue through sales tax (6%) and tourism. This calculator excludes state tax but includes mandatory federal deductions (income tax and FICA contributions).
2. Is the calculator accurate?
This provides estimates based on 2023 tax brackets. Actual paychecks may vary based on exemptions, additional deductions, and tax credits. Consult a tax professional for exact calculations.
3. Are bonuses taxed differently?
Yes, bonuses are considered supplemental income and taxed at 22% federally. This calculator doesn't account for bonus pay - use it for regular wages only.
4. What about 401(k) contributions?
Pre-tax deductions reduce taxable income. This calculator doesn't include retirement contributions - subtract them manually from gross pay before using the tool.
5. How is federal tax calculated?
Using progressive brackets: 10% ($0-$11k), 12% ($11k-$44.7k), 22% ($44.7k-$95.4k), 24% ($95.4k-$182k), 32% ($182k-$231k), 35% ($231k-$578k), and 37% ($578k+). The calculator applies these brackets progressively to your taxable income.
6. What's the FICA rate?
7.65% total (6.2% Social Security up to $160,200 wage base + 1.45% Medicare with no limit). High earners pay additional 0.9% Medicare tax above $200k, which this calculator doesn't include.
7. What if I'm self-employed?
This calculator is for W-2 employees. Self-employed pay 15.3% FICA (employer + employee portions). Use a self-employment tax calculator instead.
8. Are local taxes applied?
Florida has no local income taxes. Some counties have discretionary sales surtaxes (0.5-2.5%), but these aren't income taxes and aren't included here.
9. How often updated?
Tax brackets adjust annually for inflation. We update rates yearly. Always verify with IRS publications for current rates and consult professionals for major financial decisions.
10. Why different pay periods?
The calculator converts all inputs to annual amounts for consistency. Select your pay period to automatically annualize your salary. Results show annual net pay - divide by pay periods for check amounts.
