New York State cut its five lowest income tax rates by 0.1 point for 2026, so a New York paycheck now starts at 3.9% instead of 4%. New York City residents pay a second income tax of 3.078% to 3.876% on top, and Yonkers residents pay a surcharge, which is why two people on the same salary in Albany and Brooklyn take home different amounts. This calculator handles the state tax and the city tax together and shows each bracket.

How New York tax works on a paycheck
New York State withholding uses nine brackets and a "tax benefit recapture" that gradually removes the lower brackets for incomes above $107,650, so very high earners pay the top rate on everything. This version applies the brackets and the standard deduction. The recapture for six figure incomes is on the roadmap and is flagged in the methodology.
New York City residents pay the city's own income tax through the same paycheck, at 3.078% up to $12,000, 3.762% to $25,000, 3.819% to $50,000 and 3.876% above (single. Married brackets are wider). Non residents who work in the city do not pay it. Yonkers residents pay 16.75% of their state tax as a surcharge, and Yonkers non residents who work there pay a 0.5% earnings tax. Select "New York City" above to add the city tax.
New York also deducts Paid Family Leave (a small percentage of wages up to a cap, set each year by the Department of Financial Services) and disability insurance (up to $0.60 a week). Both are small and shown as PFML where modelled. New York taxes remote workers of New York employers under the "convenience of the employer" rule, so a Florida resident working from home for a Manhattan company usually still owes New York tax.

Federal deductions on every US paycheck
Three federal amounts come out of every paycheck in every state. Federal income tax depends on your W-4: filing status, dependents, other income and any extra withholding. For 2026 the standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married couples filing jointly, and the brackets run from 10% to 37%. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 in 2026, then stops. Medicare takes 1.45% with no cap, plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000 in the year. Before tax health premiums, HSA and FSA contributions reduce all three. A traditional 401(k) reduces income tax but not Social Security or Medicare.
The words on this page, in plain English
- Take-home pay
- The money that lands in your bank account after taxes and deductions. Also called net pay.
- Gross pay
- Your pay before anything is taken out. The salary in your job offer is gross pay.
- W-4
- The form you fill in when you start a job. It tells your employer how much federal tax to hold back from each paycheck.
- Filing status
- How you file your tax return: single, married filing jointly, or head of household (a single parent, usually). It changes your tax brackets.
- Standard deduction
- A chunk of your income the IRS does not tax at all. In 2026 it is $16,100 for a single person. The calculator takes it off before working out tax.
- Tax bracket
- Income is taxed in slices. The first slice is taxed at 10%, the next at 12%, and so on. Only the money inside a slice is taxed at that rate, so moving into a higher bracket never cuts your total pay.
- Social Security and Medicare (FICA)
- Two flat taxes on wages: 6.2% for Social Security (it stops after $184,500 of pay in 2026) and 1.45% for Medicare. Your employer pays the same amounts on top.
- Before tax deduction
- Money taken out of your pay before tax is worked out, such as a 401(k) contribution or health insurance premium. It lowers your tax.
- 401(k)
- A retirement savings plan through your employer. A traditional 401(k) is taken before income tax. A Roth 401(k) is taken after.
- Pay period
- How often you are paid. Every two weeks means 26 paychecks a year. Twice a month means 24. Monthly means 12.
