Social Security tax caps at the 2026 wage base (estimated $181,800), so the SS portion stops before $200,000. Medicare continues uncapped, and the 0.9% Additional Medicare surtax begins at $200,000 single-filer.

Florida vs. California savings at $200K: roughly $14,000–$15,000 per year. Florida vs. NYC: about $18,000. Florida vs. New Jersey: about $11,500.
