How salary translates to take-home in Florida
For most Florida W-2 earners, take-home runs roughly 75–80% of gross at salaries below $100,000 and slips to about 70–75% as you climb past $200,000 (driven primarily by the 24% and 32% federal brackets, not by state tax). At every salary level, Florida residents keep more than residents of any state with an income tax — typically 4–10 percentage points more depending on the comparison state.
