Ways to Increase Your Take-Home

📈

A $5,000 401(k) contribution saves $600/yr in taxes

Pre-tax 401(k) contributions reduce your federal and state taxable income. Contributing an additional $5,000 would increase your monthly take-home by $417 while building retirement savings.

💍

Married filing jointly saves $1,998/yr

If you're married, filing jointly gives you a $32,200 standard deduction (vs $16,100 single) and wider tax brackets. This would add $167/month to your take-home.

🏥

An HSA could save $865/yr in taxes

If you have a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), you can contribute up to $4,400 to an HSA pre-tax. This reduces your taxable income and saves $865 in federal and state taxes — a triple tax advantage.

How these Miami numbers are calculated

Wages are published BLS medians for the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL metropolitan statistical area — the wider metro, not Miami city limits. Taxes are 2026 federal brackets, FICA, and no Florida state income tax, for a single filer taking the standard deduction. Cost of living is not modeled — a higher wage here does not automatically mean more spending power. Full methodology.
