Married couples filing jointly use wider brackets in New York, so a couple often pays a lower share than the single-filer table above shows.
Also worth knowing: New York City and Yonkers charge their own income tax on residents. New York State Disability Insurance and Paid Family Leave may also come out of your pay. These are not part of the income tax estimate here.

Ways to keep more of your pay in New York
- Use a traditional 401(k) or 403(b). Each $1,000 you contribute lowers your federal taxable pay and your New York taxable pay.
- Use payroll benefits. Health insurance premiums, an FSA and an HSA paid through payroll lower your taxable pay.
- Check your W-4. If you get a very large refund or a bill every April, adjust your withholding. Our guide to reading your paycheck shows how.
- Look at your state withholding form. New York has its own withholding form or allowances, separate from the federal W-4.
- Compare job offers after tax, not before. A job in New York that pays $5,000 more can leave you with a different gain than the number suggests. Use the calculator above for both.
