# NYC paycheck calculator (2026)

A five-borough stub has a city personal income tax on top of New York State. Open this page, leave state on New York, and check NYC resident. The city schedule in this model is 3.078% to 3.876% on city taxable wages (latest published IT-201 city table).

People who work in Manhattan and live in New Jersey or Westchester should not check NYC resident. City tax is a residence tax, not a commuter tax, in this sketch.

New York State brackets still apply. This page does not fully model state benefit recapture. Yonkers has its own tax and is not included.

The calculator starts at $80,000, New York, single. Check the NYC box to see the city line. Reviewed August 24, 2026.
