Reading New York's bracket structure

With 9 income tax brackets for 2025 ranging from 4.00% to 10.90%, New York's structure is among the most granular in the U.S. The fine gradation reflects a deliberate policy choice to produce smaller per-bracket marginal-rate jumps; the trade-off is increased filing complexity. Tax software and the calculator on this site handle the bracket arithmetic automatically.

At 10.90%, New York's top marginal rate is among the highest in the country — typically in the same band as California (13.30%), Hawaii (11.00%), and New York/New Jersey (10.75-10.90%). High-top-rate states tend to combine a progressive bracket structure with a relatively high top-bracket threshold ($1M+ in the highest-rate cases), meaning only filers in the top decile of state income actually face the headline rate. Middle-income filers in the same states face marginal rates much closer to the national median.

They are subject to mid-year revision when the state legislature passes a tax bill, and we update the figures within 30 days of any published change.
