Assumptions
- Annual tax is estimated from 2026 brackets and spread evenly across pay periods.
- Estimated annual liability from brackets, not Pub 15-T withholding.
- Child Tax Credit, EITC and the 2025-2028 qualified overtime and tips deductions are not applied yet (v1.1).
- Above $107,650 of New York AGI, New York recaptures the benefit of its lower brackets until all taxable income is taxed at your top rate. This is applied as a straight-line phase-in over $50,000, which matches New York's worksheets in most cases and can differ by a few dollars just above each bracket's recapture start.
- Disability contributions are capped at $0.60 a week ($31.20 a year).
- New York City and Yonkers income taxes are not included yet.
- New York City and Yonkers income taxes are not included yet.
