New York paycheck calculator 2026 – how it works
A paycheck estimate starts with gross pay for the pay period. Federal income tax withholding is estimated based on IRS Form W-4 rules. New York State income tax withholding is estimated using a simplified approximation of the state’s progressive withholding system. Official New York payroll withholding uses detailed wage-bracket tables and exact calculation methods published by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance. FICA payroll taxes include Social Security and Medicare.
Examples
If gross pay increases or decreases, estimated New York State withholding will generally change accordingly. Because New York uses progressive rates and official withholding tables, actual paycheck withholding may differ from this estimate, especially when pay frequency, filing status, or withholding allowances change.
Limitations and important notes
This calculator provides an estimate of payroll withholding only. It does not fully model New York State withholding tables, New York City income tax, or Yonkers income tax. Actual paychecks may differ due to employer payroll systems, official table calculations, rounding rules, supplemental wage treatment, residency rules, and local tax requirements. This estimate does not represent final annual tax liability.
