How NYC tax fits with state and federal tax
New Yorkers in the five boroughs file one state return (IT-201) that computes both New York State and New York City tax on the same taxable income. New York State rates for 2026 start at 3.9% and reach 10.9% at the very top; the city adds up to 3.876%. Federal income tax is separate.
This is the annual tax bill view. To see what is withheld from each paycheck, use the NYC paycheck calculator; to plan around a target take-home, try the NYC salary calculator.
Not modeled: New York's tax-benefit recapture for higher incomes, itemized deductions, NYC household and school tax credits, and non-wage income.
