New York · tax year 2026

Does New York tax tips and overtime?

Neither deduction reduces your state tax.

New York taxes federal AGI from 3.9% up to 10.9%, less a standard deduction of $8,000 single or $16,050 filing jointly, and gives no exemption for yourself. Neither federal deduction reduces New York tax. If you live in New York City or Yonkers you also owe a separate local income tax, which this calculator does not include — for a tipped worker in the city that is a large part of the answer.

What it means on a real paycheck

Take a single filer earning $50,000 a year, $8,000 of it in tips. Against the same person with no tips to declare, the federal deduction is worth $960.

In New York it is worth nothing extra. The state bill is identical either way, so $960 is the whole of it.

How New York works out the tax

New York charges graduated rates from 3.9% up to 10.9%, across 9 bands, after a standard deduction of $8,000 single or $16,050 filing jointly. It begins from your federal adjusted gross income and applies its own reliefs from there.

Where these figures come from

New York’s rates and reliefs here were taken from New York’s own publication and last checked on 2026-08-02. A state appears in this calculator only once its figures have been read off that state’s own paperwork and covered by tests — never estimated, and never copied from another site.

Figures on this page are for tax year 2026 and were last checked against the primary sources on 2026-07-31. See our sources. This is an estimate, not tax advice.
