- New York cut its five lowest tax rates for 2026; the bottom rate fell from 4% to 3.9%.
- Paid Family Leave costs 0.432% of wages in 2026, capped at $411.91 a year, up from $354.53 in 2025.
- Disability insurance (SDI) is 0.5% of wages but never more than $0.60 a week.
- New York City and Yonkers residents pay an extra local income tax, and higher earners lose part of the benefit of the lower brackets (the “tax benefit recapture”). This calculator doesn’t include either yet.
Pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) contributions lower both your federal and New York taxable income, so they increase your take-home pay per dollar saved.
