How we calculate this
Essentials = typical rent ($2,374) + a national non-housing baseline by household size ($2,450 for one person) + Florida's combined sales tax on the taxable share of that spending. We then solve for the gross salary whose after-tax take-home hits each tier. Local income taxes and property taxes aren't modeled — see the methodology.
