Step-by-Step Guide to Using the NYC Tax Calculator

Input Your Information

To begin using the NYC Tax Calculator, you’ll need to provide specific information:

  • Annual Income ($): Enter your yearly earnings before taxes. Make sure the amount is a non-negative number, and use the placeholder to guide you: “Enter your annual income.”
  • Filing Status: Choose your marital and filing status from the available options:

    • Single
    • Married Filing Jointly
    • Head of Household

    This information is essential for accurately calculating your taxes based on the relevant federal and state tax brackets.

  • Number of Dependents: Enter the count of eligible dependents you claim. This number must be a whole, non-negative integer.

Understanding the Results

After you’ve entered all the necessary inputs, the calculator will provide several key tax estimates:

  • Federal Income Tax: This estimate is based on your annual income and filing status. It shows the amount of federal tax you owe.
  • New York State Tax: This represents the taxes applied by New York State on your income, calculated using state-specific brackets.
  • New York City Tax: This indicates the taxes that NYC imposes based on your income and filing status.
  • Total Tax: The sum of Federal, New York State, and New York City taxes. This gives you an idea of your overall tax liability.
  • Effective Tax Rate: This is the percentage of your total income that goes towards paying taxes, computed as (Total Tax / Annual Income) * 100.
  • Take Home Income: This crucial figure shows how much of your annual income you retain after all taxes are deducted. It is calculated by subtracting the Total Tax from your Annual Income.
