How New York City taxes your paycheck
New York City is one of the very few US cities that runs its own progressive income tax. It is collected with your state return and applies to the same taxable income as the state tax, so the city standard deduction is the state's. The old commuter tax on non-residents was repealed in 1999, which means someone living in New Jersey or Connecticut and working in Manhattan pays New York State tax but no New York City tax.

New York City compared with other cities
Take-home on the same $75,000 single salary, so the only thing changing is state and local tax:
| City | Take-home on $75,000 | vs New York City |
|---|---|---|
| New York City, NY | $55,600 | — |
| Yonkers, NY | $57,483 | +$1,882 |
| Philadelphia, PA | $56,478 | +$877 |
| Pittsburgh, PA | $57,040 | +$1,440 |
| Columbus, OH | $58,371 | +$2,771 |
| Cleveland, OH | $58,371 | +$2,771 |
| Cincinnati, OH | $58,896 | +$3,296 |
A no-income-tax state like Texas or Florida would leave about $61,593 from the same salary — $5,992 more than New York City. That gap is real, but so is the cost of living on either side of it, which is why the honest comparison is always take-home relative to rent, not take-home alone.
