What changed for 2026

No material change for 2026: Florida still has no individual income tax, no state income tax return for individuals, and the constitutional prohibition on a personal income tax remains in place. The state sales tax rate remains 6%. Source: Tax Foundation, State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets 2026; Florida Department of Revenue.

Florida rules that change the answer

The state-specific rules behind the numbers above — the things a generic calculator gets wrong about Florida.

No income tax — and the state constitution forbids one

Florida has no individual income tax: no brackets, no state withholding, and no individual state return to file. This is not just a statute that a legislature could repeal in one session — Article VII of the Florida Constitution prohibits the state from taxing personal income, so introducing one would require a constitutional amendment put to voters. Wages, capital gains, pensions and business income earned by individuals are all outside Florida's tax base.

Retirement income is untaxed by default

Because there is no income tax, Florida taxes none of the income retirees live on: Social Security, pensions, IRA and 401(k) distributions and military retirement pay are all state-tax-free by default. Florida also has no state estate tax and no inheritance tax, which is a large part of why it draws retirees despite hurricane-season insurance costs — the tax saving shows up in income and estate planning, not in property or insurance bills.

Funded by a 6% sales tax and tourism instead

Florida funds state government mainly through consumption taxes, led by a 6% state sales tax (plus county discretionary sales surtaxes in most counties) and taxes that fall heavily on visitors: transient rental (hotel and vacation rental) taxes, documentary stamp taxes on real estate and loans, and fuel and communications taxes. A large share of Florida sales tax is paid by tourists and part-year residents, which is the economic bargain behind the missing income tax — residents trade it for higher taxes on spending and property-related transactions.

Frequently asked questions

Does Florida have a state income tax in 2026?

None. Florida has no individual income tax in 2026, and state law is reinforced by the Florida Constitution, which prohibits the state from levying a personal income tax — changing that would require a constitutional amendment approved by voters.

Do I need to file a Florida state tax return?

No. With no individual income tax there is no Florida income tax return for individuals, no state withholding from wages, and no Florida standard deduction or brackets to worry about. Businesses file other Florida returns, but employees do not.

How much tax comes out of a $75,000 salary in Florida?

On $75,000 of wages as a single filer, your Florida state tax is $0 — zero. Your total tax of $13,408 is entirely federal: $7,670 of federal income tax and $5,738 of FICA, leaving take-home pay of $61,593.

Does Florida tax Social Security or pensions?

No — because there is no income tax, Florida cannot tax Social Security, pensions, 401(k) withdrawals or military retirement pay either. Retirees in Florida owe state tax on none of their retirement income, though federal tax still applies.

If Florida has no income tax, how does the state raise money?

Mostly sales tax and tourism. Florida levies a 6% state sales tax (plus county discretionary surtaxes), taxes heavily used by visitors — hotel and short-term rental taxes, for example — and charges documentary stamp and other transaction taxes. Tourists pay a large share of Florida's sales tax, which helps keep resident income untaxed.

Are there any local income taxes in Florida cities?

No. Florida has no city or county income taxes either — no Florida locality is permitted to levy one, so there is no local wage tax hiding anywhere in the state.

  2. The single filer table is printed in full on the page.
  3. Enter your taxable income in the find-your-bracket tool: your band lights up in the table and the staircase shows your slices.

What you can do with this tool

How it works

Florida levies no tax on wages. Florida has no standard deduction — tax applies from the first dollar of income. The tables are the state’s official 2026 schedules (sources printed on the page); cumulative tax at the top of each band is computed slice by slice from those rates. The federal comparison figures use IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32.
