New York uses a graduated income tax with brackets ranging from 4-10.9% + NYC local. Lower income is taxed at lower rates, with the 10.9% top rate applying only to income in the highest bracket. This progressive structure means your effective state tax rate is always lower than the top marginal rate. In addition, some New York localities impose their own income tax, which stacks on top of the state rate. This is especially notable in areas like New York City, which adds up to 3.876%.
