Moving state changes the tax and, almost always by more, the rent. The relocation guide puts both in one number. Common moves involving Florida: NY to FL, IL to FL, MA to FL, NJ to FL. City pages where a local tax matters: Miami.
For the wider arithmetic, the two-state offer guide compares two offers on what is left after tax and rent, this guide explains why your bracket is not your tax rate, and this one covers the choice between a 401(k) and an HSA.
