Good to know in Florida
- Withholding ≠ final tax. If too little comes out, you owe in April; too much, you gave an interest-free loan.
- No state withholding means federal + FICA only — compare offers on net, not gross.
- City/county add-ons aren’t modeled here — NYC, Philly, Detroit, and Maryland counties can move a check by 1–3%.
