New York uses a progressive income tax with 9 brackets running from 4.00% up to 10.90%, applied after a state standard deduction of $8,000.

Overtime rules that apply in New York
New York follows the federal weekly standard: overtime is owed after 40 hours in a workweek, with no general daily overtime requirement.
The "regular rate" is not just your base hourly wage — non-discretionary bonuses, shift differentials and commissions must be folded in before multiplying by 1.5, which raises the true overtime rate for many finance workers around New York City.
Is overtime taxed more in New York?
No — overtime is ordinary wages. It can feel over-taxed because per-period withholding tables annualize a big check as if every week looked like that, temporarily withholding at a higher rate that you recover at filing.
The New York layer applies to overtime exactly as to base pay, at rates up to 10.90%.
Exempt vs non-exempt in New York
Salaried does not mean exempt. To be exempt from overtime a worker must clear both a salary threshold and a duties test; misclassification is one of the most common wage claims filed in New York.
Cost of living in New York sits 25% above the national average (index 125), median household income is $82,095, and a one-bedroom apartment in New York City rents for roughly $3,800 a month.
Local and payroll taxes New York adds on top
State Disability Insurance costs $0.60 per week and Paid Family Leave takes about 0.388% of wages, capped annually. That deduction sits outside the federal and state income tax lines, so build it into your own budget on top of the numbers above.
NYC residents pay an additional city income tax of 3.078%–3.876%. Yonkers residents pay roughly 16.75% of their NY state tax as a city surcharge. This estimate excludes local taxes.
Overtime hours carry exactly the same local withholding as regular New York hours; the extra pay is taxed at your marginal rates, not at a special penalty rate, even though the deduction line looks bigger.
Working across a state line from New York
New York has no income-tax reciprocity agreements, so if you live here and work across a state line you generally file a nonresident return in the work state and claim a credit at home to avoid double taxation.
Remote and hybrid work complicates this further: most states tax income where the work is physically performed, so a New York City resident spending part of the year at a client site in Florida may owe a nonresident return there. Keep a day-count log if you split time between states.
The rest of your New York tax bill
New York charges a 4% state sales tax, homeowners pay an average effective property tax of 1.72% of market value, and the minimum wage in force during 2026 is $16.50 an hour.
Local rates bring New York City to 8.875%.
Income tax is only one part of a state's take. New York recovers revenue through sales and property tax as well, which is why headline income tax rates alone are a poor guide to how far a salary really goes. New York exempts Social Security and all public pensions, plus $20,000 of private retirement income at 59½+.
New York vs Florida on the same salary
On a $75,000 salary, a single filer keeps about $58,073 a year in New York against roughly $61,593 in Florida — a difference of $3,520, or $293 a month.
Effective combined rates are 22.6% in New York and 17.9% in Florida. Set that gap against living costs: index 125 here versus 102 there, with property tax at 1.72% and 0.82% respectively.
