1. What is the Florida Paycheck Hourly Calculator?

The Florida Paycheck Hourly Calculator estimates take-home pay for hourly workers in Florida, accounting for the state's unique tax structure with no state income tax. It calculates net pay after federal taxes, FICA, and other deductions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the net pay formula:

\[ Net\ Pay = (Hourly\ Rate \times Hours) - (Federal\ Tax + FL\ State\ Tax\ 0\% + FICA + Other) \]

Where:

$ Hourly\ Rate $ — Wage per hour in dollars
$ Hours $ — Number of hours worked
$ Federal\ Tax $ — Federal income tax withholding
$ FL\ State\ Tax $ — Florida state income tax (0%)
$ FICA $ — Social Security and Medicare taxes
$ Other $ — Additional deductions (health insurance, retirement, etc.)

Explanation: The formula calculates gross pay first, then subtracts all applicable deductions to determine the final take-home amount.
