What else comes out of a New York paycheck
Beyond income tax and FICA, New York employers also withhold State Disability Insurance (SDI) and the Paid Family Leave (PFL) premium. These are small percentages of pay, set each year by the state, and the calculator above does not include them — treat its take-home figure as slightly high.
New York City and Yonkers levy their own resident income taxes on top of the state tax. This calculator has no local-tax input, so if one applies to you, subtract it from the estimate yourself.

About $19.84 an hour, or $1,587 per biweekly paycheck on 40 hours a week, for a single filer with no pre-tax deductions in 2026. That is $41,267 a year on $52,000 gross.
Multiply your rate by hours per week and by 52 for annual gross pay, then subtract federal income tax, FICA (7.65% on most wages: Social Security stops at the annual wage base and an extra 0.9% Medicare applies above $200,000) and New York state income tax. The calculator above does this for any rate, hours and pay frequency. It treats every hour at your base rate, so add overtime premiums to your rate yourself if you regularly work more than 40 hours.
No. New York taxes wages the same way whether you are paid hourly or a salary; only the annual total matters. The withholding on each check is based on your projected annual pay.
Progressive rates from 4% to 10.9%; on $25/hour the effective state rate is about 5.18%.
Estimates use 2026 federal and state tax rates and assume the hours you enter every week. Your actual paycheck varies with W-4 settings, overtime, tips, credits, local taxes and employer deductions.
