New York City residents pay three layers of income tax — federal, New York State and NYC — plus Social Security, Medicare, SDI and Paid Family Leave. The city layer alone runs about 3–4% of a typical salary. Commuters who live outside the five boroughs skip it.

It depends on rent more than tax. A common rule is that rent should be under 30–40% of take-home pay; use the “Take-home → salary” mode to find the salary that delivers the monthly take-home your budget needs.
$100,000 becomes about $70,118 a year ($5,843 a month) after federal, state and city taxes for a single resident — comfortable for a single person sharing or renting a modest one-bedroom outside prime Manhattan.
$50 an hour is $104,000 a year full-time. After NYC-resident taxes that's about $72,526 a year.
Salary offers are quoted gross. NYC resident tax is withheld from each paycheck along with federal and state taxes, so the take-home figures here are what reaches your account.
