New York Paycheck Calculator 2026
New York uses nine progressive brackets from 3.9% to 10.9% in 2026 — the state trimmed the rates on its five lowest brackets this year, its first broad rate cut in years. A single filer's income between roughly $14k and $80k is now taxed at 5.4%, and 5.9% up to about $215k.
Location matters more in New York than almost anywhere else: New York City residents pay an additional city income tax of roughly 3.08%–3.88%, and Yonkers adds a surcharge. Employees also fund small disability (SDI) and Paid Family Leave premiums, which the calculator includes as their own lines. It models the state tax; the city add-ons are covered in the FAQ.
The calculator shows one paycheck as payroll would withhold it: federal income tax from your Form W-4 under the IRS 2026 percentage method, Social Security, Medicare, New York income tax and New York's mandatory payroll deductions. Switch to Annual tax to see what you owe for the year instead.

- The per-paycheck view withholds federal income tax from your Form W-4 entries using the IRS 2026 percentage method (Publication 15-T). State income tax is the year's estimate spread evenly across paychecks, not the state's own withholding formula.
- Mandatory state payroll programs (such as CA SDI, NY Paid Family Leave, NJ and RI disability insurance, WA Paid Leave and WA Cares) are included at their 2026 employee rates and caps. The Annual tax view shows the year's liability instead of withholding.
- Pay date, year-to-date pay, bonuses, tax credits and residence/work-state interaction are not modeled.
- Local income tax is included only when you select a listed or custom rate in a salaried state calculator. Hourly estimates and comparison tables exclude local income tax; listed rates are representative, so confirm yours with your locality.

New York income tax in 2026, briefly

New York salary after tax: take-home pay by salary (2026)
Planning estimates across common annual salaries in New York. Figures assume a single filer with no 401(k) or other entered deductions. Contributing pre-tax can reduce income tax but also reduces current take-home cash, so it does not automatically increase net pay.

New York payroll deductions besides income tax
New York requires 2 deductions from employee pay on top of income tax and FICA. They are levied on gross wages, so a 401(k) does not reduce them, and the calculator above shows each as its own line.

Employers may deduct 0.5% of wages for disability benefits, but never more than $0.60 a week ($31.20 a year).

New York local income tax rates
New York State itself is only part of the picture for New York City residents, who owe a separate city income tax with its own progressive brackets running roughly 3.078% to 3.876%. It is a residency tax, not a workplace tax — commuters from New Jersey, Connecticut or Long Island do not pay it. Yonkers residents instead pay a surcharge equal to 16.75% of their New York State tax liability.

Frequently asked questions
- Does New York have a state income tax?
- Yes. New York uses a progressive state income tax with rates that rise across income brackets. New York trimmed rates in its five lowest brackets for 2026. Above $107,650 of income it charges a supplemental tax that recaptures the benefit of the lower brackets, which is modeled. New York City and Yonkers levy additional local income taxes on top of the state tax.
- Does New York have a local income tax?
- Yes. New York localities levy a city income tax of roughly 0%–3.876%, applied to the state taxable base. New York State itself is only part of the picture for New York City residents, who owe a separate city income tax with its own progressive brackets running roughly 3.078% to 3.876%. It is a residency tax, not a workplace tax — commuters from New Jersey, Connecticut or Long Island do not pay it. Yonkers residents instead pay a surcharge equal to 16.75% of their New York State tax liability. Enter your own rate in the calculator above to fold it into the estimate.
- How much is taken out of my paycheck in New York?
- Pay is reduced by federal income tax, FICA (6.2% Social Security up to the $184,500 wage base plus 1.45% Medicare), New York state income tax, any city income tax, state payroll deductions (NY disability (SDI), NY Paid Family Leave), and voluntary deductions such as a 401(k). Enter a salary and pay frequency above for the full breakdown.
- How much extra is New York City income tax?
- NYC residents pay a separate city income tax of about 3.078%–3.876% on top of New York State tax. On a $100,000 salary that's roughly $3,500 more per year. It applies based on where you live, not where you work — commuters from NJ, CT or Long Island don't pay it.
- Did New York taxes go down in 2026?
- Yes, modestly. The state cut the rates in its five lowest brackets (for example the 4% bottom rate fell to 3.9% and the 6% bracket to 5.9%) as part of a two-year middle-class tax cut. Top rates on income over $1.08M are unchanged at 9.65%–10.9%.
- Is this the amount an employer will withhold in New York?
- For federal income tax, it is close: the per-paycheck view follows the IRS's 2026 percentage method (Publication 15-T) and the Form W-4 entries you give it, as payroll software does. New York income tax is the year's estimated tax spread evenly across your paychecks, so your employer's state formula can land a little higher or lower. Social Security, Medicare and state program deductions are averaged over the year, and bonuses, year-to-date caps and payroll rounding can move a single stub by a few dollars.
- How is this estimate calculated?
- Per paycheck, federal withholding comes from your Form W-4 entries and the IRS 2026 percentage-method tables. Social Security is 6.2% up to the $184,500 wage base and Medicare 1.45% (plus 0.9% withheld above $200,000). The state line applies the 2026 state schedule to your annual pay and divides it by your paychecks, then any local rate you choose and the state's mandatory payroll programs are added. The Annual tax view shows the year's liability from 2026 brackets and the standard deduction instead. Tax credits are not modeled.
- How reliable is this New York paycheck estimate?
- It is a close planning estimate, not a pay stub. It does not model tax credits, every benefit rule, work/residence-state interactions, year-to-date withholding, bonuses or your employer's own state withholding formula. Your pay stub and filed return are the relevant records.
