How New York taxes a paycheck
New York runs a progressive schedule with 7 brackets, from 4% at the bottom to 9.65% at the top. After the $8,000 state standard deduction, a $75,000 single filer lands in the 5.5% bracket — that is the rate on the next dollar, not on all of them, which is why the state's average bite is smaller. The top 9.65% rate only touches taxable income above $1,077,550.
You can read the progressivity directly off the table: the effective state rate climbs from 3.99% at $40,000 to 5.3% at $150,000. That climb is the practical difference between a progressive state and a flat-tax one, where the share would hold steady. At $75,000, each additional $1,000 of salary keeps about $649 once federal, state, and Medicare marginal rates are applied.
How New York compares with other states
On a $75,000 salary, New York ranks #40 of 51 among the states and D.C. for take-home pay, $3,520 a year behind the no-income-tax states and $633 behind the median state. The nearest state above it is Washington, D.C. ($92 more per year); just below sits Alabama, $40 behind. Rankings compare state and average local income taxes only — cost of living, housing, and sales taxes move real affordability in ways a paycheck never shows.
