New York Paycheck Calculator

New York State imposes one of the highest combined tax burdens in the country, particularly for New York City residents. State income tax runs from 4% to 10.9% (with a temporary top rate for high earners), but NYC residents also pay a city income tax of 3.078%–3.876%, bringing combined state-plus-city marginal rates to nearly 14.8% for top earners — among the highest of any city in America.

For workers outside New York City — in Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, or Long Island — only the state income tax applies, with no city surcharge. Yonkers has its own local income tax at 16.75% of state tax liability for residents.

New York also has a Paid Family Leave (PFL) deduction of 0.373% of wages in 2026 (up to the statewide average weekly wage cap), separate from SDI. Combined with federal taxes, New York City workers at the $150,000 income level often see effective total tax rates exceeding 40%.
