Florida Tax Calculator
Florida has no state income tax — but a 6% state sales tax plus local surtaxes brings the combined rate to ~7%.
Florida is one of the most tax-friendly states for high earners and retirees because it levies no individual income tax on wages, salaries, or investment income. The state funds services through a 6% state sales tax plus county surtaxes that combine to roughly 7.02% statewide and as high as 8% in some jurisdictions. Property taxes sit near the national average at ~0.91%. Florida has no inheritance tax, no estate tax, and does not tax Social Security or pension income. The state's tax structure, combined with no personal income tax, has fueled massive in-migration of retirees and remote workers over the past decade — Florida's population grew by roughly 3 million residents between 2010 and 2024. Tourism also contributes significantly through the state's transient rental taxes and discretionary sales surtaxes. For high-net-worth households, the absence of state income tax can save tens of thousands annually compared to high-tax states like New York or California, though the lack of a standard deduction and the broad sales tax base offset some of those savings.
