United States only: State income tax, property tax and median home price figures are US state-level estimates.
State data assumptions (2026-01): State figures are estimates, not statutory lookups: state income tax uses a single effective rate (states with progressive brackets are approximated for a $50k–$100k salary, not the top marginal rate), and property tax, insurance and median home price are statewide averages. Federal tax and FICA come from the 2026 federal engine.

What Homebuyers Experience in Florida
Florida has no state income tax, giving you the same tax advantage as Texas. Property taxes are moderate, but homeowner's insurance is the highest in the nation due to hurricane risk.
