Questions
How much is $20 an hour after taxes in New York?
Working 40 hours a week at $20 an hour ($41,600 a year), you take home about $649 a week, or $1,298 every two weeks, after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and New York state income tax.
Does New York have a state income tax?
Yes. New York taxes wages with a graduated income tax, which this calculator includes along with federal income tax and FICA.
How is overtime calculated?
Hours over 40 in a week are paid at one and a half times your hourly rate for non-exempt workers under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Enter those hours in the overtime box; some states also require daily overtime, which isn't modelled here.
Why might my real paycheck differ?
This spreads the year's tax evenly across paychecks for a single filer taking the standard deduction. Your employer's withholding uses your W-4 and IRS tables, and 401(k), health insurance or other pre-tax deductions lower both your taxable pay and your take-home.
State-level figures only. New York City and Yonkers residents also pay a separate local income tax (up to roughly 3.9% in NYC) on top of these numbers, which is not modelled here. Includes NY's statutory SDI (capped at $0.60/week) and Paid Family Leave (0.432% of wages, capped at $411.91/year).
