Open comparison →What is included
A New York estimate with clear boundaries.
New York paychecks can include federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, New York State income-tax withholding, and entered benefits or deductions.
State income tax
The calculator uses the 2026 New York State Method II exact calculation and accepts IT-2104 allowances plus additional state withholding.
Payroll taxes
Federal Social Security and Medicare are included. No separate employee state payroll tax is added by the current New York implementation.
Local coverage
New York City and Yonkers withholding are both included. New York City taxes residents only, so commuters are shown a verified zero. Yonkers adds a 16.75% surcharge on a resident's state withholding, and charges nonresidents who work there a separate 0.50% earnings tax.

Common questions
New York paycheck FAQ
Does this include New York City income tax?
Yes. Select New York City as your locality of residence in Advanced options. Because the city taxes residents only, someone who works in the city but lives elsewhere is shown a verified zero rather than a warning.
Which New York withholding method is used?
The estimate uses the 2026 New York State Method II exact-calculation schedules from Publication NYS-50-T-NYS.
Can I enter IT-2104 allowances?
Yes. Open Advanced options and use the state-withholding section to enter allowances and extra state withholding per paycheck.
