A New York paycheck depends heavily on where you live. Statewide brackets run from 4% to 10.9%, but if you live in New York City you also owe city income tax of about 3.078%–3.876%, stacked on top of the state rate. That combination — state plus city plus federal plus FICA — makes NYC one of the most heavily withheld places to earn a paycheck. The calculator below applies 2025 New York state brackets to estimate your take-home pay.

How take-home pay works in New York

Your paycheck starts with your gross pay. From there, the federal government takes income tax based on 2025 marginal brackets and your filing status, plus FICA — Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, with an extra 0.9% on high earners).

New York taxes wages with progressive state brackets from 4% up to 10.9% on the highest incomes. On top of that, residents of New York City pay an additional city income tax of roughly 3.078%–3.876%, and Yonkers residents pay a resident surcharge. So a New York City paycheck can carry both state and city income tax in addition to federal tax and FICA.

Frequently asked questions

Does New York City have its own income tax?
Yes. New York City residents pay a local income tax of roughly 3.078% to 3.876% on top of New York State income tax. This city tax is withheld from your paycheck in addition to state and federal tax, so NYC residents take home less than other New Yorkers at the same salary.
What are New York State income tax rates in 2025?
New York State uses progressive brackets starting at 4% and rising to 10.9% on the highest incomes. Most workers fall between 5.5% and 6.85%. The calculator above applies these state brackets; if you live in NYC or Yonkers, remember an additional local tax applies that this estimate may not fully capture.
How can I lower the tax on my New York paycheck?
Pre-tax contributions to a 401(k), HSA, or commuter benefits reduce the wages subject to both federal and New York income tax. Living outside New York City also avoids the city income tax entirely, which can be the single biggest factor in your net pay.
Does New York have a state income tax?
Yes. New York taxes wage income. The calculator above includes it in your estimate.
How is my take-home pay calculated?
We start from your gross pay, then subtract federal income tax (2025 marginal brackets), Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% over $200k), and your state income tax. Any 401(k) and pre-tax deductions are removed before income tax is figured.
Which states have no income tax?
Nine states have no state income tax on wages: Texas, Florida, Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington, Wyoming, Tennessee, and New Hampshire. Living there usually means a bigger paycheck.
Is this exact?
It is a solid estimate using 2025 federal and state rates and standard deductions. It does not capture local/city taxes, credits, or unusual situations. Treat it as a ballpark — not professional tax advice.
What is FICA?
FICA is the combination of Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Together they total 7.65% of most wages (6.2% Social Security up to the wage base, plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages).
