How 401(k) and pre-tax benefits change your NYC paycheck
A traditional 401(k) lowers the pay used to figure federal, New York State, and NYC income tax. It does not lower Social Security or Medicare tax. Health insurance and commuter benefits paid before tax, such as a transit benefit, lower income tax and also Social Security and Medicare tax. In this calculator, a 10% 401(k) contribution on a $75,000 salary lowers take-home pay by about $5,154 a year, not by the full $7,500, because your taxes go down too.
NYC minimum wage and hourly pay
The minimum wage in New York City is $17.00 an hour in 2026. A full-time worker at that rate earns about $35,360 a year before tax ($17 × 40 hours × 52 weeks). Choose Hourly in the calculator to see the paycheck. To turn an hourly wage into a yearly salary first, use our hourly to salary calculator.
What this calculator does not include
This is a quick estimate, not a payroll run. It does not include dependents, tax credits, itemized deductions, bonuses taxed at special withholding rates, the Yonkers tax, or the New York rule that reduces the lower-bracket benefit for higher incomes. Higher earners may owe slightly more New York tax than shown. If you work overtime, use the overtime pay calculator to estimate your gross pay first. Federal workers can use the federal employee paycheck calculator. Freelancers pay self-employment tax instead of payroll tax, so they should start with the freelance rate calculator. To see how a state with no income tax compares, try the Florida paycheck calculator.
Tax rules change. This estimate is for education only and is not tax, legal, or payroll advice. For a closer estimate, use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator or ask a tax professional.
