Roles on our board in New York
Good to know
- Above $107,650 of income New York phases in a “tax benefit recapture” (supplemental tax) that takes back the lower brackets. It is not included here, so for higher salaries the real New York tax is higher than shown.
- New York City residents pay an extra city income tax. Yonkers residents pay a surcharge. Neither is included unless shown.
- New York's standard deduction is not adjusted for inflation; the 2026 amounts are the same as 2025.
- Employee or contractor. Employees pay 6.2% Social Security (up to $184,500 of wages in 2026) and 1.45% Medicare; the employer pays the other half. Contractors pay both halves as self-employment tax (15.3% on 92.35% of earnings) and deduct half of it. Many remote Web3 and AI roles are contracts.
- Tokens. Token grants are usually taxed as ordinary income when they vest or are received, at their value then. They are not in this calculator; confirm your own case with a CPA.
- What is simplified. Standard deduction only: no credits, no itemized deductions, no 401(k) or health insurance, no qualified business income deduction for contractors, one earner per household. Your real tax can be lower or higher.
- Tax year. All numbers are for income earned in 2026 (taxes filed in 2027).
