Inputs stay in your browser. This estimate does not account for every credit, local tax, retirement plan, or state-specific rule.

New York state tax note

The state line uses a 6.20% effective-rate planning estimate. Use it as a set-aside prompt, not a substitute for New York filing instructions.

1

Federal still matters

Self-employment tax is federal. Even in a no-income-tax state, 1099 workers usually need to plan for Social Security, Medicare, and federal income tax.

2

Use the state line carefully

The state line is labeled as simplified because state deductions, credits, and local rules can change the actual amount.

3

Update each deadline

Revisit the estimate before April, June, September, and January deadlines if your New York income is uneven.

4

Check official sources

Use this calculator for planning, then confirm state payment rules with the New York tax agency or a qualified tax professional.

IRS sources used

Rates are stored in /data/rates/2026.json with source URLs and retrieval date so annual updates are a data edit.

Federal brackets, standard deductions, and selected indexed items are based on IRS tax year 2026 inflation adjustments and IRS Publication 505 for 2026 as retrieved on 2026-06-10. The IRS news release says news items may not be updated after release; verify against the latest IRS forms, instructions, and publications before production launch or annual updates. The 2026 business mileage rate is marked provisional until an IRS 2026 standard mileage notice or updated IRS mileage table is added.
