How New Jersey paycheck tax works
New Jersey has a progressive income tax; withholding uses official Rate Tables. Single filers use Rate Table A (about 1.5% up to 11.8%); married-joint filers use Rate Table B. There is no standard deduction; withholding subtracts $1,000 per exemption before applying the rate table. New Jersey publishes no flat supplemental rate; bonuses are combined with regular wages or run through the rate tables.
A few other items come out of the same check. New Jersey withholds employee-paid unemployment/workforce contributions (UI/WF/SWF, 2026 wage base $44,800) and Temporary Disability and Family Leave Insurance (TDI/FLI, 2026 wage base $171,100). These fund those benefits and are not income tax.
The calculator annualizes your pay, then runs New Jersey's 2026 graduated withholding alongside federal income tax and FICA. It's a close estimate rather than an exact match: your actual paycheck can differ from your employer's payroll, which may use exact per-period tables.
