New York City Local Wage Tax Calculator 2026

Published by Financial Calculator · Updated November 9, 2026 · Editorial policy
Local tax only, not total take-home pay. The resident schedule above is the official New York City tax computation (IT-201-I). NYC taxable income equals New York State taxable income; this estimate uses wages minus the $8,000 single standard deduction as that base. The NYC household credit and school tax credit are not modeled. NYC's employer withholding tables (NYS-50-T-NYC) use a separate rate schedule designed for payroll, so paycheck withholding can differ slightly from this annual tax estimate. Nonresidents owe no NYC wage tax; part-year residents use Form IT-360.1, not modeled here.

What this city-tax estimate leaves out
The resident schedule above is the official New York City tax computation (IT-201-I). NYC taxable income equals New York State taxable income; this estimate uses wages minus the $8,000 single standard deduction as that base. The NYC household credit and school tax credit are not modeled. NYC's employer withholding tables (NYS-50-T-NYC) use a separate rate schedule designed for payroll, so paycheck withholding can differ slightly from this annual tax estimate. Nonresidents owe no NYC wage tax; part-year residents use Form IT-360.1, not modeled here.
It excludes federal income tax, state income tax, FICA, benefits and tax credits. Nonresidents should enter only wages taxable by this city, not wages earned elsewhere. Do not add two full city rates without checking residence credits.
See the New York paycheck calculator for a separate state estimate. That tool does not automatically include this city tax.
