You pay three layers of income tax: federal, NY State (4%–10.9%), and NYC local tax (3.078%–3.876%). Plus FICA. All combined, most NYC residents with mid-range salaries lose 30–40% of their gross pay to taxes.
You pay two layers: federal and NY State (4%–10.9%). No NYC local tax. This can save you $2,000–$8,000+ per year depending on your salary — a significant difference that many people underestimate.
NY State uses progressive brackets. The rates below apply to all NY residents regardless of where in the state you live — NYC or otherwise.
FICA is Social Security (6.2%, up to $176,100 of wages) + Medicare (1.45%, no cap). Both NYC and non-NYC NY residents pay FICA — it's a federal tax that applies everywhere in the US.

NY State also has a "recapture" provision — for incomes over $107,650 (single), a supplemental tax may phase out lower bracket benefits, slightly increasing the effective rate.
