1. What is the ADP Hourly Calculator?

The ADP Hourly Calculator estimates net pay from hourly wages in Florida, accounting for federal taxes and FICA contributions. Since Florida has no state income tax, only federal taxes and FICA are deducted.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Gross\ Pay \) — Hourly wage × hours per week × 52 weeks
• \( Federal\ Tax \) — Based on 2023 IRS tax brackets
• \( FICA \) — 7.65% for Social Security and Medicare

Explanation: The calculator first determines annual gross pay, then applies progressive federal tax rates based on filing status, and finally deducts FICA contributions.
