What makes New York paychecks different
New York's state schedule has nine brackets, and for 2026 the five lowest were each trimmed by a tenth of a point: 3.9% on the first $8,500 of taxable income, 4.4% to $11,700, 5.15% to $13,900, 5.4% to $80,650 and 5.9% to $215,400 for a single filer, then 6.85% up to about $1.08 million and 9.65%, 10.3% and 10.9% above that. The standard deduction is $8,000 single and $16,050 joint. High earners face a 'benefit recapture' that applies the top rate to all income, which this calculator approximates.
Where you live within the state changes everything. New York City residents pay a separate city income tax of 3.078% to 3.876%, withheld alongside the state tax, so a Manhattan resident in the 5.9% state bracket is really paying close to 9.7% at the margin. Yonkers residents pay a surcharge of 16.75% of their state tax and nonresidents who work in Yonkers pay 0.5% of wages. Neither city tax is included in the estimate above.
Every private-sector employee also funds Paid Family Leave at 0.432% of wages in 2026, capped at $411.91 for the year, plus a token disability insurance deduction of up to 60 cents a week. New York has no reciprocity agreements and applies a 'convenience of the employer' rule, so New Jersey and Connecticut residents who work for New York employers generally owe New York tax even on remote days, then claim a credit at home.
Updated for 2026: For 2026 New York cut the rates in its five lowest brackets by 0.1 point each (the bottom rate is now 3.9%), and the Paid Family Leave deduction rose to 0.432% of wages with a $411.91 annual cap.
