How to Calculate Your New York Take-Home Pay
- Start with your gross annual salary.
- Subtract the 2026 federal standard deduction ($16,100 single), apply the 2026 federal brackets (10%-37%).
- Subtract FICA: 6.2% Social Security (up to $184,500) + 1.45% Medicare (+0.9% above $200,000).
- Subtract New York's $8,000 standard deduction from gross wages, then apply the 9-bracket state schedule (4%-10.9%) marginally.
- Subtract New York Paid Family Leave (0.432% of wages, capped at $411.91/year in 2026) — a mandatory payroll deduction, not income tax.
- What's left is your net take-home pay before any New York City or Yonkers resident tax.
Example: $65,000/year gross salary, single filer, New York State resident (outside NYC).
- Federal tax: $5,620
- FICA: $65,000 × 7.65% = $4,972.50
- NY taxable income: $65,000 - $8,000 = $57,000 → marginal NY tax ≈ $2,904.35
- NY PFL: $65,000 × 0.432% = $280.80
- Net annual pay: $65,000 - $5,620 - $4,972.50 - $2,904.35 - $280.80 = $51,222.35 (≈$4,268.53/month, before NYC/Yonkers tax)

New York has 9 brackets for single filers, from 4% on income up to $17,150 to 10.9% above $25,000,000. The FY2026 budget cut the bottom five bracket rates by 0.1 point.
Does this calculator include New York City tax?

NYC resident tax uses 4 brackets from 3.078% to 3.876%; Yonkers resident tax is a 16.75% surcharge on your net NY state tax. Yonkers non-resident earnings tax and the MCTMT (for self-employment income) are not modeled.
What is New York Paid Family Leave (PFL)?
A mandatory employee payroll deduction — 0.432% of wages in 2026, capped at $411.91/year — that funds paid leave benefits. It is separate from income tax.
Methodology & Source
New York state tax figures sourced from New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (https://www.tax.ny.gov/), citing N.Y. Tax Law § 601 — FY2026 budget cut the bottom five bracket rates 0.1 point starting tax year 2026. Federal brackets, standard deductions (single/MFJ/HoH), and FICA constants sourced from the IRS (Revenue Procedure 2025-32; married-filing-jointly Additional Medicare threshold of $250,000 is a separate, unindexed statutory figure). New York's married-filing-jointly and head-of-household figures are not yet independently verified and currently fall back to single-filer brackets — see the caveat in the formula section above.
Local tax figures sourced from NYS Department of Taxation and Finance (IT-201 instructions) / City of Yonkers Code, Article IX. NYC resident brackets cross-checked against two independent secondary sources 2026-07-29; Yonkers 16.75% resident surcharge (of net NY state tax) is a long-standing, unindexed statutory figure, cross-checked against a second secondary source the same day.
This is an estimate based on standard single-filer federal, FICA, NY state tax, and NY PFL calculations. Actual withholding may differ based on your W-4/IT-2104 elections, pre-tax deductions, NYC/Yonkers tax, and other factors.
Pre-tax deductions assumption: HSA and health insurance premium contributions are assumed to also reduce the New York Paid Family Leave (PFL) wage base, consistent with their FICA wage treatment. This is a reasonable default, not independently verified against New York's specific New York Paid Family Leave (PFL) statute.
