How New York State income tax works
New York uses a progressive marginal withholding schedule. As wages increase, the marginal rate on additional income rises. New York State withholding is calculated from official NYS tables published by the Department of Taxation and Finance. The calculator encodes the 2026 source-backed withholding schedule.
New York City local income tax
NYC residents — but not commuters who work in the city but live elsewhere — owe an additional local income tax withheld by employers. The NYC local tax rate schedule is progressive and adds a meaningful amount to the total withholding at most income levels. Yonkers residents face a separate Yonkers withholding surcharge instead of NYC tax.
