    How to Calculate New York State Taxes

    1. Determine Gross Annual Wages: Start with your total annual gross wages.
    2. Subtract Exemptions: Use the Annual Exemption Table for Allowances to calculate the total exemption amount.
      • Single: The base exemption is $5,000, increasing by $500 for each allowance.
      • Married: The base exemption is $5,500, increasing by $500 for each allowance.
      For example:
      • A single filer with 3 allowances would deduct $6,500.
      • A married filer with 5 allowances would deduct $8,000.
    3. Calculate Taxable Income: Subtract the total exemption amount from your gross wages to determine taxable income.
    4. Determine Withholding Tax: Reference the New York State Withholding Tax Table for your filing status (Single/Head of Household or Married). Match your taxable income to the appropriate tax bracket to find the annual withholding amount.
    5. Divide for Each Pay Period: To calculate the tax withheld per paycheck, divide the annual withholding amount by the number of pay periods:
      • Weekly: 52
      • Biweekly: 26
      • Monthly: 12
