How Your NY Paycheck Works

New York paychecks start with federal income tax withholding under IRS Publication 15-T, where employers use the wage bracket or percentage method based on pay frequency, taxable wages, Form W-4 entries, and filing status. FICA is withheld separately: Social Security is 6.2% on wages up to $184,500 in 2026, Medicare is 1.45% with no wage cap, and employers must withhold the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax after an employee's wages exceed $200,000 in a calendar year. New York State withholding uses NYS-50-T-NYS tables and methods; the 2026 tables include revised withholding schedules and a separate 11.70% supplemental wage rate. New York City and Yonkers withholding may also apply based on residence or work location. New York Paid Family Leave is employee-funded at 0.432% of gross wages, capped at $411.91 for 2026, and statutory disability benefits contributions may be 0.5% of wages, capped at $0.60 per week. Estimates assume standard 2026 withholding, single filing status, and no pre-tax deductions; actual paycheck may differ.
