New York taxes wages on a graduated schedule that climbs to 10.9% at the very top, though the highest bands only reach extraordinary incomes; the lower and middle rates were cut for 2026. New York uses a standard deduction and a per-dependent exemption but no personal exemption for the filer. It also withholds two employee-paid levies, NY PFL (paid family leave) and NY DBL (disability benefits), up to their wage caps. The big local factor is New York City and Yonkers, which add their own income taxes for residents. This page serves New York workers comparing take-home; the tables below show pay across salary levels for 2026 after federal tax, FICA and New York State tax.

Frequently asked questions
How is take-home pay calculated in New York?
We start with your gross salary and subtract the 2026 federal standard deduction for your filing status, then apply the federal tax brackets to what is left. FICA, the Social Security and Medicare tax, is added on the gross. On top of that comes the New York state layer, using New York's own brackets or flat rate and its deductions. The result is your estimated annual tax liability, which we divide across your pay periods to show weekly, biweekly, and monthly figures.
Does New York tax bonuses differently?
A bonus is withheld using supplemental wage rules, which can differ from your regular paycheck. See the New York bonus tax page for how the federal flat rate and the state layer apply.
Are these numbers withholding or final tax?
These are an annual tax-liability estimate, not the exact withholding from any one paycheck. The per-paycheck columns are the annual figure divided by the number of pay periods. Your employer's real withholding uses IRS payroll tables and can differ slightly, then reconciles when you file your return.
