How New York paychecks are taxed
New York State withholding uses graduated rates from 3.9% up to 11.7% for the highest incomes, after a deduction allowance ($7,400 single or head of household, $7,950 married) and $1,000 per IT-2104 allowance. The state's exact-calculation tables include "recapture" brackets, so the rate can jump around in the middle of the scale; this calculator uses the official annual schedule.
New York City residents also pay city income tax, 2.05% to 4.25% (tick the NYC box). Yonkers residents pay a surcharge not included here.
Two small payroll deductions apply to most private-sector workers: NY disability (SDI), 0.5% of wages up to $0.60 a week, and Paid Family Leave, 0.432% of wages up to $411.91 in 2026.
Federally, employers use the IRS percentage method (Publication 15-T, 2026), plus 6.2% Social Security up to $184,500 of wages and 1.45% Medicare (another 0.9% on wages over $200,000). For 2027 the Social Security cap rises to $192,300; pick 2027 in the calculator to see next year's numbers.
