New York income tax in 2026
New York taxes income in nine bands from 3.9% to 10.9% after a standard deduction, and phases out the benefit of the lower bands once income passes $107,650.
Income left after the allowances below is taxed in bands; the top rate is 10.9%.
- Standard deduction: $8,000 for single filers, $16,050 for married couples filing jointly and $11,200 for heads of household.
- Above $107,650 of income the benefit of the lower rates is phased out, so the tax is higher than the table alone suggests.
- New York Paid Family Leave: 0.432% of wages, at most $411.91 a year.
- The household credit and other New York credits are not applied.
- Your employer may also deduct up to 60 cents a week for disability benefits; that optional deduction is not included.
- The $1,000 exemption for each dependent is not applied.
- New York City and Yonkers residents also pay a city income tax. Use the New York City page to include the city tax; Yonkers is not included.

Federal taxes on wages in 2026
Federal income tax is charged on your wages after the standard deduction: $16,100 for single filers, $32,200 for married couples filing jointly and $24,150 for heads of household. Each slice of the remaining income is taxed at its own rate, so moving into a higher bracket never reduces your pay.
Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to $184,500. Medicare takes 1.45% of all wages, plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly, $125,000 if married filing separately).

Common questions
- Why is my actual paycheck different from this estimate?
- Employers withhold tax using your Form W-4 and each pay period on its own, while this calculator estimates your tax for the whole year. Benefits, bonuses, a second job or a spouse's income also change the result.
- Does the calculator include tax credits?
- No. Credits such as the child tax credit or the earned income credit depend on your household and are not applied, so your real tax can be lower.
- Are 401(k) contributions taxed?
- Traditional 401(k) contributions are not subject to federal income tax when you make them, but Social Security and Medicare still apply to that pay.
