Calculate 2026 federal income tax, New York state and NYC resident taxes, payroll taxes, and net take-home pay across all major filing statuses.
The federal layer in this calculator is updated to the 2026 IRS tax-rate tables, 2026 standard deductions, the 2026 Social Security wage base, and the 2026 elective 401(k) deferral cap. The New York state and NYC resident layers stay on the latest verified schedules already encoded in the calculator, and the labels in the outputs call out that tax year so the estimate stays honest.
Use it to compare annual and paycheck-level take-home pay, or to see how residency and filing status change the marginal tax on your next dollar. The same gross income can produce very different take-home pay depending on where you live and how you file.
New York taxes depend on filing status, residency, and payroll rules. This calculator combines the 2026 federal schedule with the currently encoded NY state and NYC resident schedules, plus capped payroll taxes, so you can estimate take-home pay from one set of inputs.
Federal Tax: 2026 brackets and standard deduction NY State Tax: latest verified filing-status schedule in this calculator NYC Resident Tax: latest verified resident schedule in this calculator Payroll Taxes: Social Security 6.2% (up to $184,500) + Medicare 1.45% 401(k) elective deferral limit: $24,500 for 2026
Result: ~$70,800 net income
On $100,000 single in NYC, the calculator applies the 2026 federal bracket schedule, the currently encoded New York state and NYC resident schedules, and capped payroll taxes. The combined take-home estimate is roughly $70.8K before any elective 401(k) contribution.
New York state uses a progressive bracket system with different schedules for single, married filing separately, married filing jointly, head of household, and qualifying surviving spouse filers. That means the marginal rate on an extra dollar can differ from the effective rate on your total income.
Only NYC residents pay the city resident income tax. Living in the five boroughs can materially change take-home pay at the same gross income, while commuters who work in NYC but live elsewhere do not owe the city tax.
Even in states with no local wage tax, employee payroll taxes still matter. This calculator applies Social Security only up to the 2026 wage base and Medicare on all wages so the take-home estimate is closer to a real paycheck.
The useful number is not just total tax owed, but the post-tax cash you actually keep. Use the monthly and biweekly outputs to compare withholding, savings goals, and year-end refund expectations.

The calculator applies gross annual income to separate federal, New York state, NYC resident, and payroll-tax layers. Federal values use the 2026 IRS tax-rate tables, 2026 standard deductions, the 2026 Social Security taxable maximum, and the 2026 elective 401(k) deferral limit. The New York state and NYC resident layers remain on the latest verified schedules already encoded in the calculator, and the on-screen labels name the tax year used.
Taxable income is reduced by the entered 401(k) contribution, the standard deduction, and any additional deductions before the progressive federal and state schedules are applied. Payroll taxes are then added separately as Social Security at 6.2% up to the wage base and Medicare at 1.45% on all wages.
Only residents of the five boroughs pay NYC resident income tax. Commuters who work in the city but live elsewhere do not owe the city tax.
Yes. NY state brackets, NYC resident brackets, and both federal and state standard deductions vary by filing status.
401(k) contributions reduce both federal and NY taxable income. The calculator caps the elective deferral at the 2026 employee limit.
No. NY uses its own standard deduction table, and the amounts differ from the 2026 federal standard deduction amounts.
Yes. The estimate includes Social Security tax up to the 2026 wage base and Medicare tax on all wages.
Yonkers residents and some non-resident workers may owe Yonkers-specific taxes or surcharges. This calculator focuses on NYS and NYC taxes only.
