New York Paycheck Calculator (2026) | NY Take-Home Pay
Provisional New York estimate covering federal tax, directional NY income tax, and FICA, with optional simplified NYC tax.
Use this page for a New York take-home sketch on an offer, raise, or NYC move. The NY path is provisional: progressive state income tax plus optional simplified NYC local tax, while Paid Family Leave, Disability Benefits, and other local payroll items are omitted — so a real stub can look lower. Enter gross pay below, enable NYC if you live in the city, then Compare with Florida or Texas at the same salary.
Quick start idea: annual salary around $130,000, biweekly pay, filing single — enable NYC if you live in the city, then tune 401(k) or other deductions.

FAQ
Does this include New York State and NYC tax?
A provisional New York State income-tax estimate is included. NYC is optional and simplified; Paid Family Leave, Disability Benefits, and other local items are omitted.
Should remote workers pick New York or their home state?
Choose the state that matches where you are taxed for the role you are modeling. Multi-state residency and convenience-of-employer rules are complex — treat this tool as an educational sketch, not a residency determination.
How do I compare a New York offer to Florida or Texas?
Open Compare: keep Offer A in New York (and NYC if needed), set Offer B to Florida or Texas with the same salary and pay frequency. The gap often reflects state (and optional NYC) tax on top of shared federal and FICA pieces.
When should I enable the NYC option?
Enable NYC if you are modeling New York City residency for that offer. It is a simplified local estimate only — not a full NYC return — and other local payroll items are still omitted.
Why might a real New York stub look lower?
Employer withholding, W-4 settings, PFL/DBI, benefits, and credits are not fully reproduced here. Use the result as an educational annual sketch, not a payroll guarantee.
Is New York always lower take-home than Florida at the same salary?
For the same gross W-2 wages, NY state tax (and NYC if enabled) often lowers modeled take-home versus Florida. Living costs, bonus, and benefits can still dominate — Compare for the tax slice only.
