How New Jersey paychecks are taxed in 2026
New Jersey taxes income on a graduated state schedule for 2026, applied after the state deduction for your filing status. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your New Jersey take-home pay.
Adjust your filing status, pay frequency, and gross wage above to update the breakdown.
What this estimate doesn't include: State tax only. New Jersey has no local wage income tax for residents (Newark payroll tax is employer-side). New Jersey has no standard deduction; its $1,000 personal exemption and $1,500-per-dependent exemptions are not modeled. 2026 brackets are statutory (not inflation-indexed) and unchanged from prior years per the NJ Division of Taxation.
Estimates for general guidance only — not tax advice. This calculator approximates withholding using 2026 federal brackets, the standard deduction, and FICA. It does not account for pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA, health premiums), additional W-4 adjustments, local taxes, or credits. Verify with a tax professional or the IRS.
