Pay after rent is median weekly pay × 52 ÷ 12 minus a 2-BR rent benchmark built from HUD FY2026 Fair Market Rent areas, before taxes; it is not take-home pay, and the rent benchmark is not a prediction of what you will pay. Tax rates are 2026 figures from the Tax Foundation, not tax advice. Compact status per NCSBN.

Inside the Florida travel nurse paycheck
Florida's lack of a state income tax means no state withholding on the taxable base. A weekly rate blends that base with untaxed housing and meal money, and the split between them sets what you keep.
Hourly base, the wage portion of the rate
Housing stipend, a weekly housing allowance
Meals & incidentals, a daily meals allowance
The actual mix varies by contract, agency, and location.
How far a Florida paycheck goes
Florida charges no state income tax, which lifts take-home on every contract. Cost of living varies sharply, though, from pricey South Florida to the more affordable north and central regions, so where you work changes what your pay is worth. The pay-after-rent figure at the top of this page shows the statewide math.
No
State income tax
One of nine states with none, so the same rate keeps more take-home than a high-tax state.

Answers for Florida travelers
When does Florida travel demand peak?
Winter. Seasonal residents and tourists swell the population from late fall through spring, and hospitals add staff to match, so fall and winter starts carry the deepest demand. Summer stays steady in the large year-round metros of Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville. If you want the widest choice of Florida contracts, time your availability for the winter season and be ready to commit early.
Does Florida withhold anything from base pay?
No state income tax comes out. Florida is one of nine states without a personal income tax, so only federal withholding applies to your taxable base, and housing and meal stipends stay untaxed when you maintain a permanent tax home. That strengthens net pay relative to the headline rate, worth remembering when a higher-tax state dangles a bigger number for the same specialty.
Can I start a Florida contract on my compact license?
Yes. Florida belongs to the enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact, so a multistate license from a member state lets you begin without Florida-specific licensure. That makes Florida one of the simpler states to start in quickly, which pairs well with the winter surge if you decide late in the season. Nurses from non-compact home states should budget time for endorsement instead.
How different are Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville for travelers?
Meaningfully. South Florida runs the highest living costs in the state, while Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville sit closer to national norms, so the same rate nets differently by metro. The systems differ too: AdventHealth and Orlando Health anchor Central Florida, Baptist Health and Memorial Healthcare shape the south, and HCA Florida spans the state. Pick the metro by net pay and setting rather than rate alone.
What settings does Florida assign travelers to?
The full spread. Advantis works with AdventHealth, HCA Florida Healthcare, Baptist Health, Memorial Healthcare System, and Cleveland Clinic Florida, which together span academic, community, and specialty hospitals from the Panhandle to the Keys. Acuity and unit mix vary by metro and by season, so confirm the unit's patient population with your recruiter, particularly for winter contracts when census climbs.
What should snowbird-season travelers confirm before a Florida start?
Three things: housing, start date, and extension odds. Winter demand tightens short-term housing in the coastal metros, so confirm what the stipend actually rents in season rather than assuming summer pricing. Start dates cluster ahead of the winter census surge, which means credentialing needs to be finished early. And ask about extension likelihood upfront, because winter contracts that run well can extend into spring at the facility's request.
