Based on 2025 New York tax tables

New York had not published, or we have not yet confirmed, its 2026 rate tables when this page was last reviewed, so the estimate uses the 2025 figures. Brackets and deductions that are indexed for inflation will shift slightly. Verify against the state's own tables before relying on the number.

Not every worker is entitled to overtime

The Fair Labor Standards Act requires overtime after 40 hours a week for covered, non-exempt employees. Salaried workers who meet the executive, administrative, professional, outside sales or computer employee tests are exempt, as are some agricultural and transportation roles. This calculator works out what overtime pay is worth — it does not determine whether you are legally entitled to it.

Follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act: covered, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. There is no daily overtime requirement. Annualised at 52 weeks to estimate your tax bracket, so a single heavy week is taxed as if every week looked the same — real withholding on an unusually large paycheck is often higher, and evens out when you file.

Withholding is not your final tax

Your employer chooses which method to use, and neither one is your real tax on the bonus. If the flat 22% exceeds your actual marginal rate you get the difference back as a refund; if your marginal rate is higher, you will owe the rest when you file.

The percentage method applies a flat 22% federal rate to supplemental wages up to $1,000,000 a year, and 37% above that. The aggregate method adds the bonus to your regular wages and withholds on the combined total. Social Security and Medicare apply under both.

Why self-employment tax feels so high

An employee splits Social Security and Medicare with their employer. Self-employed people pay both halves — a combined 15.3% on 92.35% of net profit — on top of income tax. Half of it is deductible against your income tax, which softens the blow, and that deduction is already applied above.

Does not include the qualified business income (QBI) deduction, the self-employed health insurance deduction, or state and local business taxes such as gross receipts or franchise tax. QBI in particular can reduce federal taxable income by up to 20% for many freelancers, so treat this as a conservative estimate. Paying 90% of your current-year liability or 100% of last year’s generally avoids an underpayment penalty.

New York Income Taxes

Does New York have a state income tax?

New York's state income tax runs from 4% to 10.9% across nine brackets. The top rates apply only to income in the millions, so most workers top out at 6% or 6.85%.

If you live in New York City, city income tax is the number that changes your paycheck most after federal tax. It is roughly 3.1%–3.9% on top of the state rate and it applies to residents regardless of where they work.

The reverse also matters: living outside the five boroughs but commuting in means you owe New York State tax on the income but not New York City resident tax.

New York withholds bonuses and other supplemental wages at a flat 11.7% for the state, with an additional flat rate for New York City residents. That is deliberately conservative withholding, not your final rate.

Two small payroll deductions appear on a New York pay stub: State Disability Insurance, capped at $31.20 a year, and the Paid Family Leave premium, capped at a few hundred dollars.

New York does not tax Social Security benefits and exempts public pensions plus up to $20,000 of private retirement income for filers 59½ and over.

Local income taxes in New York

New York City residents pay a separate city income tax of roughly 3.078% to 3.876% on top of the state tax, withheld from the same paycheck. Yonkers residents pay a surcharge equal to about 16.75% of their state tax, and non-residents working in Yonkers pay a smaller earnings tax. None of these are included in the estimate above — for a New York City salary this is a significant omission.

New York Minimum Wage & Overtime

Minimum wage

$15.50 / hour

Effective January 1, 2025

New York has two minimum wage rates: a higher one for New York City, Long Island and Westchester and a lower one for the rest of the state. Both rise on a legislated schedule and are then indexed to inflation. The figure shown is the rest-of-state rate.

Overtime rules

Follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act: covered, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. There is no daily overtime requirement.

Whether you are entitled to overtime at all depends on your job duties and how you are paid, not just your hours. Executive, administrative, professional, outside sales and certain computer roles can be exempt.

What this New York estimate does not include

Every paycheck calculator makes simplifying assumptions. Here are ours, so you know exactly where the estimate could differ from your real pay stub or tax return.

  • City, county and school district income taxes are not included in the estimate.
  • New York City and Yonkers income taxes are not included. For an NYC resident this understates total withholding by roughly three percentage points of taxable income.
  • State-level tax credits (child and dependent care, earned income, renter and property tax credits) are not applied.
  • New York's tax benefit recapture, which claws back the value of lower brackets for high earners, is not modeled.
  • Assumes you live and work in this state for the whole year. Multi-state and remote-work situations follow different rules.

Common questions about New York taxes

How much tax is taken out of my paycheck in New York?

On a $65,000 salary, a single filer in New York keeps about $51,154 a year — roughly $4,263 a month. That is an effective tax rate of about 21.3%, made up of $5,620 federal income tax, $2,970 New York income tax, and $4,973 in Social Security and Medicare.

Does New York have a state income tax?

Yes. New York taxes wage income at 4% – 10.9%, so higher slices of income are taxed at higher rates. Local income taxes also apply in parts of New York, on top of the state rate.

How much is $100,000 after taxes in New York?

A single filer earning $100,000 in New York takes home approximately $73,843 a year, or $6,154 a month, after an estimated $26,157 in federal tax, state tax, Social Security and Medicare. That is an effective tax rate of 26.2%. Filing jointly, itemizing or contributing to a 401(k) all change the figure.

How is overtime calculated in New York?

Follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act: covered, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. There is no daily overtime requirement. Overtime pay is taxed as ordinary income — there is no separate overtime tax rate — but because a big overtime week raises your annualised pay, payroll systems often withhold more from that paycheck than your yearly rate implies. It evens out when you file.

How are bonuses taxed in New York?

Bonuses are supplemental wages. Most employers withhold a flat 22% for federal tax, plus 11.7% for New York. Social Security and Medicare apply too. On a $10,000 bonus with a $100,000 salary, expect roughly $5,865 to land in your account. Withholding is not your final tax — if too much was withheld you get it back when you file.

How much should a 1099 worker save for taxes in New York?

On $70,000 of net self-employment profit, a single filer in New York owes roughly $18,490 in combined self-employment and income tax — about 26.4% of profit. Setting aside 29.4% of every payment is a safer rule of thumb, because it leaves room for a good year pushing you into a higher bracket. Estimated payments are due quarterly.

What is the minimum wage in New York?

New York's minimum wage is $15.50 per hour as of January 1, 2025. New York has two minimum wage rates: a higher one for New York City, Long Island and Westchester and a lower one for the rest of the state. Both rise on a legislated schedule and are then indexed to inflation. The figure shown is the rest-of-state rate.

Are there local income taxes in New York?

New York City residents pay a separate city income tax of roughly 3.078% to 3.876% on top of the state tax, withheld from the same paycheck. Yonkers residents pay a surcharge equal to about 16.75% of their state tax, and non-residents working in Yonkers pay a smaller earnings tax. None of these are included in the estimate above — for a New York City salary this is a significant omission.

Federal income tax is estimated using the annual rate schedules and the standard deduction for your filing status. It assumes a Form W-4 filled out with no dependent credits, no other income and no extra deductions claimed in Steps 3 and 4.

Itemized deductions, the Child Tax Credit, education credits, the Earned Income Tax Credit, the qualified business income deduction and the Alternative Minimum Tax are not modeled.

Employer withholding and final tax liability are different numbers. What comes out of your paycheck is an advance payment; the return you file determines what you actually owe.
