The ADP Salary Paycheck Calculator estimates your net take-home pay after deductions for federal taxes and FICA contributions in Florida. It helps employees understand their actual earnings after mandatory deductions.

Where:

• \( Gross\ Pay \) — Your total annual salary before deductions
• \( Federal\ Tax \) — Estimated federal income tax withholding
• \( FICA \) — Social Security and Medicare taxes (7.65% of gross pay typically)

Note: This is a simplified calculation. Actual paychecks may include other deductions like state taxes (none in Florida), health insurance, or retirement contributions.
