New York Paycheck Calculator2026
Estimate your New York take-home pay after federal, state, and FICA taxes.
A New York paycheck carries more than most: the state income tax is progressive, and if you live in New York City or Yonkers a separate local income tax is withheld on top. This calculator estimates the New York State income-tax portion of your take-home pay.
Put your pay in below, hourly or salary, and you'll get your New York take-home pay with federal tax, FICA, and state withholding worked out on 2026 brackets.
How New York paycheck tax works
New York has a progressive income tax; 2026 withholding brackets start at 3.9% and rise through the schedule, with a separate top-rate method for very high earners. Withholding subtracts an annual deduction allowance ($7,400 single / $7,950 married) plus $1,000 per IT-2104 exemption. The withholding schedule has non-monotonic 'recapture' bands where the marginal rate briefly spikes (11.44% single / 13.49% married) before dropping back.
Local tax can apply on top of the state's share. New York City residents pay a separate NYC personal income tax, and Yonkers residents and workers pay a Yonkers surcharge, both withheld in addition to state tax.
The calculator annualizes your pay, then runs New York'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. Local city, county, or school-district taxes aren't included in this figure.
