Yonkers paycheck calculator
Yonkers is not New York City. Residents pay a 16.75% surcharge on their New York State tax liability, which means the Yonkers line moves when the state line moves. It is not a flat percent of wages. Nonresidents who work in Yonkers are modeled at 0.5% of wages. The live-here switch picks between those two treatments.
You still owe New York State tax, federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, disability capped at $31.20 a year, and Paid Family Leave at 0.432% up to its wage base. Selecting Yonkers does not add New York City resident brackets. Someone who lives in the Bronx and works in Yonkers should use the city that matches residency rules, not both.
Because the resident surcharge is a percent of state tax, a traditional 401(k) that lowers New York wages also lowers the surcharge. A flat wage tax would not behave the same way. High earners should remember New York’s benefit recapture is not fully modeled past the 6.85% threshold, so the state piece—and therefore the surcharge—can differ from a full IT-201.

Local tax
Yonkers is a surcharge on state tax for residents (not a flat wage percent), with a separate nonresident earnings tax when you uncheck live-here. Yonkers residents pay a surcharge of 16.75% of their net New York State tax. Nonresidents who work in Yonkers pay a 0.50% earnings tax on wages sourced to the city. The resident surcharge is not a flat wage percent, so it moves when state tax moves.
What is not included
Credits, itemized deductions, multi-state credits, property tax, sales tax, and unsourced local rates are not included. Employer payroll tables can differ from this annualized estimate. This Yonkers page does not invent taxes that are missing from the 2026 data files.
