This calculator shows your federal and New York state tax so you can see exactly what you keep.

New York City Tax: The Extra Bite

If you live in New York City, you pay an additional city income tax of 3.078% to 3.876% on top of the state tax. This means a high earner in NYC faces a combined state and city rate of nearly 14.8%, making it one of the most heavily taxed locations in the country. Yonkers residents also pay a city surcharge. This calculator estimates state tax only — NYC residents should add approximately 3.5% for a more accurate estimate.

Comparing New York to Other States

A single filer earning $100,000 in New York pays roughly $5,500 in state income tax alone — compared to $0 in Texas or Florida, $3,070 in Pennsylvania, or $4,950 in Illinois. For NYC residents, add another $3,500 in city tax. This significant tax burden is why many high earners have migrated to low-tax states. However, New York offers strong public services, excellent infrastructure, and access to the nation's largest job market. See our US Salary Calculator for federal-only estimates.
