2. How accurate is this calculator?
This calculator uses 2023 tax rates and standard deductions. Accuracy depends on proper inputs and individual circumstances. It doesn't account for 401(k) contributions, insurance premiums, or other pre-tax deductions. Consult a tax professional for exact calculations.
3. Does it include NYC local taxes?
Yes, the calculator includes NYC's three local tax rates: 3.078% ($12k-$25k), 3.762% ($25k-$50k), and 3.876% (over $50k). These are in addition to state taxes and make NYC's total tax burden higher than most US cities.
4. Can self-employed people use this?
No, this calculator is for W-2 employees. Self-employed individuals pay additional 7.65% self-employment tax and must make quarterly estimated payments. Business deductions and different tax rules apply to freelance income.
5. How often are tax brackets updated?
Tax brackets are adjusted annually for inflation. The calculator uses 2023 rates. The IRS typically announces new brackets each October. New York State and City may adjust their brackets separately.
6. Why does pay frequency matter?
Pay frequency affects per-paycheck withholdings. Biweekly (26 pays) vs monthly (12 pays) changes withholding amounts even with same annual salary. The calculator converts all inputs to annual figures first for consistent calculations.
7. Are bonuses included?
This calculator doesn't include bonus payments, which are typically taxed at 22% federal flat rate. Supplemental wages have different withholding rules. For accurate bonus calculations, use a specialized bonus tax calculator.
8. What's FICA tax?
FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) includes Social Security (6.2% up to $160,200) and Medicare (1.45% all income). Employers match these amounts. High earners pay additional 0.9% Medicare tax on wages over $200,000.
9. Do non-residents pay NYC tax?
Only NYC residents pay NYC local taxes. Non-residents working in NYC pay NY state tax but not NYC tax. However, you may owe taxes in both NYC and your home state if you're a partial resident.
10. Can I see paycheck deductions?
Yes, after calculating annual net pay, change the pay frequency to see per-paycheck amounts. The calculator divides annual net by 52 (weekly), 26 (biweekly), or 12 (monthly) based on your selection.
