How New York take-home pay is calculated
New York imposes a progressive income tax with nine brackets ranging from 4% to 10.9%, placing it among the higher-tax states for top earners while remaining moderate for middle incomes. Residents of New York City and Yonkers also owe a separate local income tax, which can meaningfully reduce take-home pay beyond the statewide rates. High earners face a tax benefit recapture that can apply the top marginal rate to all income rather than just the amount above each threshold.
Federal income tax
Progressive 10%–37%, applied after the federal standard deduction ($15,000 single / $30,000 married for 2025).
Social Security
6.2% of wages up to the $176,100 wage base.
Medicare
1.45% of all wages, plus 0.9% above $200,000.
New York state income tax
Progressive 4% – 10.9%.
Paid Family Leave (PFL)
0.39% of wages.
State Disability Insurance (SDI)
0.50% of wages.
