Understanding NYC Income Taxes

Living and working in New York City is unique from a tax perspective. Unlike most cities in the United States, NYC residents are subject to four distinct layers of income tax: Federal, FICA, New York State, and a specific New York City local tax.

The Three Income Taxes in NYC

  1. Federal Income Tax: A progressive tax collected by the IRS. Rates range from 10% to 37% depending on your bracket.
  2. New York State Income Tax: New York State has a progressive tax system. Rates generally range from 4% to 10.9%.
  3. NYC Local Tax: If you are a resident of the five boroughs, you must pay a city-specific tax that ranges from approximately 3.078% to 3.876%.

FICA Taxes

In addition to income taxes, all employees pay FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) taxes. This consists of:

  • Social Security: 6.2% of your gross income (up to a wage base limit of $168,600 for 2024).
  • Medicare: 1.45% of your gross income (with an additional 0.9% for high earners over $200,000).

NYC Income Example

If you earn $100,000 annually as a single filer in NYC:

  • Federal Tax: Roughly $14,200 (after standard deduction).
  • FICA: $7,650.
  • NY State Tax: Roughly $5,100.
  • NYC Local Tax: Roughly $3,500.
  • Take-Home: Your annual net pay would be approximately $69,550, meaning your effective tax rate is nearly 30.5%.
