New York taxes and cost of living, explained

New York uses a progressive state income tax, with rates rising to 10.90% for the top bracket. Combined with an average sales tax of 8.54% and an average effective property tax rate of 1.60%, these figures shape most household budgeting decisions in the state — from evaluating a job offer to estimating what home you can afford.

The six calculators below all use New York's own current rates rather than national averages: paycheck withholding, state income tax, sales tax, property tax, a full mortgage (PITI) payment, and home affordability based on the standard 28/36 lending rule. New York's minimum wage is $17.00/hour, and the data behind these numbers is sourced from the Tax Foundation, WalletHub, and state revenue departments.
