New York income taxes
New York’s income tax ranges from 4.00% to 10.9%, divided into multiple brackets based on income level and filing status. There are tax recapture provisions for some taxpayers. These provisions can potentially increase tax liability for high earners. Taxpayers who have New York adjusted gross income over certain thresholds may see their tax benefits from exemptions and deductions decrease.
Employees are subjected to Disability Insurance (SDI) and Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) payroll taxes. New York City also impose an additional local income tax.
New York offers a standard deduction that varies based on filing status. It also allows personal exemptions; both can lower taxable income.
Calculate your income tax in New York
Calculating your New York state income tax is similar to the steps we listed on our Federal income tax calculator:
- Determine your filing status
- Work out your adjusted gross income [Gross income − Retirement contributions = Adjusted gross income]
- Calculate your state taxable income [Adjusted gross income − (Standard/Itemized deductions + Exemptions) = State taxable income]
- Figure out your state/local tax liability [State taxable income × State tax rate = State tax liability]
- Deduce your state payroll tax liability [Gross income × State payroll tax rate = State payroll tax liability]
- Add up all state and local taxes [State tax liability + State payroll tax liability = Total state income taxes]
