Understanding New York City Income Tax

New York City (NYC) imposes its own income tax on residents, in addition to New York State income tax and federal income tax. This means NYC residents typically pay three levels of income tax. The NYC income tax is calculated based on your taxable income, which is your adjusted gross income less your deductions.

The tax rates are progressive, meaning higher earners pay a larger percentage of their income in taxes. The rates vary based on your annual income and your filing status. The following information provides a general overview and uses tax brackets for the most recent tax year available for illustrative purposes. Tax laws and brackets can change annually, so always consult official sources or a tax professional for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

How the Calculator Works

This calculator takes your total annual income and subtracts your total deductions to arrive at your taxable income. It then applies the appropriate NYC tax rate based on your filing status and the calculated taxable income, using the progressive tax bracket system.

Formula: Taxable Income = Annual Income – Total Deductions

The calculator then uses a series of conditional statements (if-else logic) to determine which tax bracket your taxable income falls into and calculates the tax based on the corresponding marginal tax rate for your filing status.
