What percent of taxes are taken out of your pay check in Florida?

Answer 1

THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED AND ANSWERED HERE MANY, MANY TIMES BEFORE. SIMPLY USING THE WIKI SYSTEM AND ACCESSING THE DATABASE OF ANSWERS WOULD PROVIDE THE INFORMATION YOU WANT WITHOUT ANY WAIT, (or additional demands on the sytem). It is copy pasted and provided again below as a coutesy...Florida has no state income tax, so that even simplifies it. It depends on many, many things...not the least of which is what you consider tax. Many people group all their withholdings as a type of tax, but many may not be. Workers Comp, Unemployment, even FICA are all really more an insurance payment than a withholding against an income tax. The amount of tax withheld also depends on many other things...obviously which state (or even city) your in, the amount of income your projected on earning over the year, (which helps determine your tax bracket and the percent that may be required), as well as your filing status, number of dependents and other deductions (like interest on a mortgage) or contributions to 401K, or medical slections. All these things can be adjusted for your circumstances by properly and completely filling out (or changing) the Form W-4 all employers ask you to. The variations are so numerous that it is fair to say that it would be uncommon for 2 people, working a the same job making the same salary would have the same amount withheld. There are even a number of different legal ways for the payroll provider to calculate the amount to withhold...but overall they make only a small difference. Remember, anything withheld is just being done as an estimated installment payment toward whatever tax, if any, you do ultimately owe. If too much is withheld, it is refunded. (Too little, and you could pay a penalty and interest charges). Again, adjusting your W-4 is the way to correct for any of these circumstances.
