At roughly 6.85%, New York has the 49th lowest income tax rate of 51 states. The next-lowest is Vermont at 6.60%, and just above it is California at 7.25%. On a $75,000 salary, New York's income tax costs you about $5,138 a year compared with a state that levies none.
Your effective total tax rate on $75,000 — federal, state, and FICA combined — works out to about 25.1%. Contributing to a 401(k) lowers your federal and state taxable income but not FICA, so raising the contribution percentage in the calculator above shows the real trade-off between take-home pay today and retirement savings.
