Frequently asked questions
What state brackets does this tool use for single filers?
3.9% over $0, 4.4% over $8,500, 5.15% over $11,700, 5.4% over $13,900, 5.9% over $80,650, 6.85% over $215,400, 9.65% over $1,077,550, 10.3% over $5,000,000, 10.9% over $25,000,000.
How are NYC residents handled?
Choosing New York City adds a local amount run through four coded rates, from 3.078% to 3.876%, on the same New York taxable income used for state tax.
How is the Yonkers option calculated?
The tool multiplies the state tax by 16.75%. For $90,000 single that is $715 on top of $4,270 of state tax.
What standard deduction is applied?
$8,000 for the single schedule and $16,050 for joint filers. Anything you type into the extra deductions box is added to that amount rather than compared against it.
What happens to married filing separately?
The filing status list offers only two choices, so separate filers pick the single option, which is labelled that way. Head-of-household schedules are not in the tool.
Why does the tool show a state marginal rate only?
The marginal line reports the state bracket. At $90,000 single it reads 5.9%, while the combined effective rate with NYC tax is 8.14%.
Are credits, federal tax or payroll taxes included?
No credit field exists here, and federal tax, Social Security, Medicare and other payroll items are outside the calculation. The output covers New York bracket tax and the chosen local amount only.
What happens at very low or very high income?
Income at or below the deduction gives $0, since taxable income is floored at zero. At the top, the schedule ends with 10.9% above $25,000,000 for single filers, as coded.

Marginal versus effective rate
A single filer with $90,000 has $82,000 of taxable income after the $8,000 deduction. State tax is $4,270, an effective 4.74%, though the top slice is taxed at 5.9%. Another $1,000 of income adds $59 of state tax.
What the New York model covers
The model subtracts the standard deduction plus any extra amount you enter, applies the bracket schedule for the single or joint column, and adds the NYC or Yonkers amount if selected. It has no credit input, no head-of-household schedule and no federal or payroll components. Tax law changes every year and the tables in this tool are not updated automatically, so the IRS, your state tax agency or a qualified adviser governs what you actually owe.
