How New York income tax is modelled
New York is coded in the figures built into this tool (2026) as a graduated tax with 9 brackets running from 3.9% to 10.9%.

What this New York calculator does and does not do
Putting 6% of $75,000 into a traditional 401(k) cuts federal income tax by $990 and New York income tax by $243 a year; bi-weekly take-home falls by $125.65 against $173.08 contributed. For New York the tool models state income tax only, with a standard deduction of $8,000 (single) and $16,050 (joint). Local or city taxes, disability or family-leave deductions, the child tax credit, extra withholding, the W-4 step 3 and step 4 adjustments and employer-paid benefits are all left out of New York results. Heads of household use the single schedule. Payroll withholding depends on the employee’s W-4, the employer and the work location, and the IRS and the relevant state tax agency govern the actual rules, so treat every figure here as an estimate.
