• A $1,000 raise would add $704 to your yearly take-home pay in Florida.
• Pre-tax accounts are powerful here: a traditional 401(k) contribution avoids 22% federal tax on each dollar saved.
• The full 7.65% FICA rate applies to every dollar of this salary, because it is below the $184,500 Social Security wage base.
• The $24,500 401(k) contribution limit represents 22.3% of this salary.
• Living in Florida saves you state income tax: in California, the same salary would cost about $5,985 in state tax.

• Federal income tax ($15,370). Charged on $93,900 of taxable income after the standard deduction, with a top rate of 22% on your last dollar.
• Social Security ($6,820). This 6.2% payroll tax builds your future Social Security retirement benefit.
• Medicare ($1,595). It funds hospital insurance for people aged 65 and over, at 1.45% of your pay.
• State income tax ($0). Florida does not tax wages.

Out of each $100 of gross pay, $78.38 is yours to spend or save after all withholding.

Here is exactly how the IRS arrives at your federal income tax. Start with $110,000 of wages, remove the $16,100 standard deduction, and tax the remaining $93,900 slice by slice.

Florida is one of nine states that do not tax wages. You still pay federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, but nothing extra to the state on your paycheck.

Florida has no personal income tax, written into its constitution. The state relies on sales taxes and tourism, so workers keep more of each paycheck, and retirees pay no state tax on pensions or Social Security.

• Property insurance costs have risen sharply, especially near the coast.
• Florida is a popular destination for remote workers relocating from high-tax states.

Largest cities: Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Orlando.

Florida ranks #1 of 51 for take-home pay on $110,000, tied with 6 other states. The gap between the best state (Florida) and the worst (Oregon) is $9,056 a year.

Top 5, your state and bottom 5. Single filer, no pre-tax contributions.

See how much of your paycheck a 401(k) really costs. Pre-tax contributions reduce federal and state income tax, but not Social Security or Medicare.

If you are married and your spouse has no income, filing jointly doubles the standard deduction and widens every bracket.

Filing jointly would add $6,530 a year ($544 a month) to this household's take-home pay.

With $7,185 arriving each month, here is a realistic budget split.

• $110,000 is 150% of the median household income in Florida ($73,311).
• With the 30% rule, a comfortable rent is up to $2,750 per month.
• That is 3.5 times the Florida minimum wage of $15/hour.
