$18.00 an hour is close to what a typical U.S. full-time worker earns. Over a year of 40-hour weeks that is $37,440 before taxes.

At this level most of your income falls in the 10% and 12% federal brackets after the standard deduction. Contributing to a 401(k) or HSA lowers the income that's taxed (though not the Social Security and Medicare portion), so pre-tax deductions are one of the few levers that noticeably change take-home pay here.

Florida note: Florida imposes no state personal income tax.
