What New York charges as well

Income tax is one of three. The other two do not come out of a paycheck, but they decide what the paycheck buys.

Sales and property tax in New York
Sales tax, state plus average local	8.54%	10th of fifty
Property tax on median home value	1.3%	11th of fifty

The state rate is 4% and local jurisdictions add 4.54% on average, reaching 8.54% where you shop. Property tax is among the heaviest in the country at 1.3% of value a year — 5,200 dollars a year on a $400,000 home. Work yours out on the property tax calculator.

Withholding is an instalment, not the bill. What the year actually settles at is on the refund calculator, and the dates it settles on are the federal tax deadlines.
