Methodology & Source
Florida state tax figures sourced from Florida Department of Revenue (https://floridarevenue.com/), citing Fla. Const. art. VII, § 5 (constitutional ban on a state income tax). Federal brackets, standard deductions (single/MFJ/HoH), and FICA constants sourced from the IRS (Revenue Procedure 2025-32; married-filing-jointly Additional Medicare threshold of $250,000 is a separate, unindexed statutory figure). Florida's married-filing-jointly and head-of-household figures have been independently verified against the source above.
Bonus federal withholding uses the flat supplemental-wage rate (22%, 37% above $1,000,000 cumulative supplemental wages/year), per IRS Publication 15 (Circular E), Employer's Tax Guide, 2026 edition — the alternative "aggregate method" is not modeled.
This is an estimate based on standard single-filer federal and FICA calculations. Actual withholding may differ based on your W-4 elections, pre-tax deductions (401k, health insurance), and other factors.
