brackets for the 2025 tax year, from 4% to 10.9%. To estimate your
NY state tax, subtract the standard deduction ($8,000 single,
$16,050 married filing jointly) from your income, then apply the

that bracket's rate. New York City and Yonkers residents pay a separate
local tax on top.

rate, marginal bracket, and income after state tax.
How the NY State Tax Calculator works
New York uses a progressive bracket system. Different portions of your
income are taxed at different rates. You do not pay your top rate on every
dollar — only on the dollars that fall inside that bracket.
The method is short:
NY taxable income = Income − Standard deduction
Tax = sum of (income in each bracket × that bracket's rate)
The standard deduction comes off first. Then each slice of income is taxed
at its own rate, and the slices are added together.
The 2025 standard deduction is $8,000 for single filers and $16,050 for
married couples filing jointly, per the
New York
State Department of Taxation and Finance. New York City and Yonkers
residents owe a separate local tax that this state-only calculator does not
include.
The NY State Tax Calculator applies each 2025 bracket in turn, then adds the slices to produce your estimated state tax.
Worked example: single filer, $75,000 income
Income: $75,000, single filer.
Taxable income: $75,000 − $8,000 standard deduction = $67,000
Apply brackets: 4% on the first $8,500, 4.5% on the next $3,200,
5.25% on the next $2,200, then 5.5% on the rest up to $67,000.
Estimated NY state tax ≈ $3,520, an effective rate of about
4.7% on the $75,000 income.
