What are the 2025 New York State tax brackets by filing status?
The 2025 income ranges for each filing status can be reviewed in the below table.
How do NY tax brackets work?
New York embraces a progressive taxation system. Taxpayers only pay the specific rate for the amount that falls into that exact range. You do not pay the highest rate on the entire income.
Which income number matters for the bracket table?
Look at the NY taxable income to find the bracket. It is generally Line 38 on Form IT-201 and represents the earnings after you apply state adjustments & subtract the standard or itemized deduction.
How can you estimate 2025 NY state income tax?
A calculation can be conducted for a rough figure in 4 steps as below.
- Grab the taxable income figure from the current draft return
- Pick the column that matches the filing status
- Multiply the income in each bracket by that specific rate and add those numbers together
- Subtract any NY credits you plan to claim from that total
Do New York City or Yonkers residents pay more than the state brackets?
Yes — In the case of living in the mentioned areas, you likely owe a local income tax on top of the state charges presented above.
Do nonresidents use the same 2025 NY brackets?
Yes — the same rate schedule is used. However, the nonresident return calculates the tax based only on the income earned from New York sources.
What if your withholding doesn’t match what is owed?
Withholding is just an estimate. Specific events have the potential to cause a difference between what is paid and what is owed in April.
- Large bonuses & commissions or equity payouts
- Holding two jobs — or having a working spouse — where each payroll department withholds as if that is the only income source
- Changes to the filing status & dependents or residency during the year
