Where Florida Overtime Actually Comes From
Florida follows federal OT rules — no state daily-OT law, no state income tax.
- • Florida OT is FLSA-only: 1.5× after 40 hours/week
- • No state income tax — the federal OBBBA deduction is the only overtime tax relief that applies
- • Theme parks, hospitality, port logistics (Miami/JAX), and construction drive Florida OT hours
Worked Example
A single Florida theme-park employee at $22/hour with 240 OT hours — the exact numbers are editable.
- • Premium portion: $22 ÷ 2 = $11.00/hour on OT hours
- • Deduction: $2,640 (watch the cap and MAGI phase-out as you raise the inputs)
- • Federal income tax savings: $317 at the 12% marginal rate
