Moving from Texas to Florida

At $100,000 this move changes your state income tax by nothing at all — $0 in Texas, $0 in Florida. Texas charges $0 at that income and Florida charges $0, an effective 0.00% against 0.00%.

The gap is not constant. At $50,000 it is nothing; at $500,000 it is still nothing. Florida levies no individual income tax, so the whole of your Texas bill disappears and the saving grows with every dollar you earn.

What this does not answer

State income tax only. Property tax, sales tax and housing costs usually matter more to a moving decision than the figures on this page, and none of them is here.

A full year in each state. In the year you move you will normally file part-year returns in both, splitting the income between them, so neither column is what you will actually pay that year.
