Federal tax & state tax deductions

U.S.A. New York

Published

I am just curious working in New York how much is taken out from the paycheck every 2 weeks (80 hours) pay cycle?

Right now I work in NJ, my 80 hours paycheck is $2800 - $560 (Fed,state taxes etc) so my net pay is $2240

About less 20%

Appreciate some input from you guys! Thanks in advance

I get taxed about 33%, plus I have to pay NJ state tax. AND union dues.

Don't do it for the money. I make less than I'd make here in NJ. I do it for the experience and tuition reimbursement.

I assume you still live in New Jersey (or listed as your primary home address?)

Is it still 33% if your primary address is NYC?

Tnx for the reply

I live in Central Jersey. My taxation rate is exactly the same as it was when I worked in SC, where I made $15 less an hour. Except now I pay 2 states' worth of income tax.

You can go to www.paycheckcity.com. You can plug in what state you live in or wish to live in and then put in your gross pay, # of exemptions you claim and it will break it down exactly as your paycheck does. It is good for people to compare how much their take home will be if they are thinking about relocating or if they want to see what a raise might actually look like after taxes. Now if you live in NY and work in NJ or vice versa, you may get hit twice with the taxes. I'm not really sure how that works. Paycheckcity.com won't be able to give you the details on that. It assumes you live and work in the same state.
