New York state
The calculator uses the 2026 New York State Method II exact calculation and accepts IT-2104 allowances plus additional state withholding.
New York City local tax
New York City income tax applies to residents only. Commuters who work in the city but live elsewhere owe no New York City income tax, which the calculator reports as a verified zero.
New York City and Yonkers withholding are both included. New York City taxes residents only, so commuters are shown a verified zero. Yonkers adds a 16.75% surcharge on a resident's state withholding, and charges nonresidents who work there a separate 0.50% earnings tax.
