> The New York tax calculator estimates your 2026 take-home pay in New York – federal income tax, FICA, New York state income tax and any local tax – per year and per paycheck, from your salary, filing status, dependents and deductions.

## Inputs

- Gross annual income (wages)
- Pay frequency
- Filing status
- Children under 17
- Pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA) per year
- Itemized deductions (0 = standard deduction)
- Where do you live?
- Post-tax deductions per year

## Results

- Federal taxable income
- Federal income tax (after child tax credit)
- FICA (Social Security + Medicare)
- State income tax
- Local income tax
- Total income tax and FICA
- Take-home pay per year
- Take-home pay per paycheck
- Effective tax rate
- Federal marginal tax rate

## Formula

```
Federal taxable income = gross − pre-tax deductions − standard (or itemized) deduction
Federal tax: 2026 brackets 10–37%, minus the child tax credit ($2,200 per child)
FICA = 6.2% Social Security (to $184,500) + 1.45% Medicare (+0.9% above $200,000)
NY taxable income = AGI − standard deduction ($8,000 single, $16,050 joint, $11,200 head of household); 2026 rates 3.9%–10.9%; NYC 3.078%–3.876%; Yonkers 16.75% of state tax
```

## Explanation

New York State has nine income tax brackets – cut for 2026 to start at 3.9% – up to 10.9%, and New York City and Yonkers residents pay an extra local income tax. Results are estimates for planning and ignore some credits, local rules and withholding differences.

### How to use the New York Tax Calculator

- **Gross annual income (wages)**
- **Pay frequency**
- **Filing status**
- **Children under 17**
- **Pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA) per year**
- **Itemized deductions (0 = standard deduction)**
- **Where do you live?**
- **Post-tax deductions per year**

Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.

### How it works

Enter your gross salary, pay frequency, filing status, children under 17, pre-tax deductions, itemized deductions (leave 0 for the standard deduction) and any local option.

### Tips

- Tax figures here are estimates for planning – your actual tax depends on credits, deductions and local rules.
- Check the tax year and filing status before you rely on a result.
- Use gross (before-tax) figures unless a field asks for take-home pay.
- When in doubt, confirm with the tax authority's own calculator or a tax professional.

### Common mistakes to avoid

- Confusing marginal and effective tax rates.
- Adding sales tax to a price that already includes it.
- Forgetting payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare) on wages.

### What each result means

- **Federal taxable income** = max([Adjusted gross income] - [Federal deduction used], 0)
- **Total income tax and FICA** = [Federal income tax (after child tax credit)] + [FICA (Social Security + Medicare)] + [State income tax] + [Local income tax]
- **Take-home pay per year** = [Gross annual income (wages)] - [Pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA) per year] - [Total income tax and FICA] - [Post-tax deductions per year]
- **Take-home pay per paycheck** = [Take-home pay per year]÷[Pay frequency]
- **Effective tax rate** = [Total income tax and FICA]÷[Gross annual income (wages)]×100

### Example values
