FAQs
- What is AGI?
- Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is your gross income minus specific adjustments such as student loan interest, IRA contributions, tuition costs, and alimony payments. It is the starting point for most tax calculations.
- Does New York City have a separate income tax?
- Yes. If you live in New York City (the five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island), you pay an additional NYC local income tax ranging from 3.078% to 3.876%. This is separate from NY State income tax.
- What is the highest NY state income tax rate?
- As of 2022, the highest NY state income tax rate is 10.90%, which applies to income over $1,077,550 for single filers and over $2,155,350 for married filing jointly.
- Is the FICA tax the same for everyone?
- The FICA rate is 7.65% for employees (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare). However, the Social Security portion only applies to the first $147,000 of wages (2022 cap). High earners also pay an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax on income above $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married jointly).
- Can I use this calculator with non-USD currencies?
- Yes. While US taxes are denominated in USD, you can select from 20 world currencies for comparison purposes. The tax logic remains the same (2022 US/NY brackets), but all amounts will be displayed in your chosen currency symbol.
