How New Jersey taxes income
New Jersey has 7 brackets for a single filer, so the rate on your last dollar is higher than your overall rate.
Newark levies a payroll tax paid by employers, which does not come out of your pay.
What this does not include
- Local or city income tax, which New Jersey allows
- Dependants, children, and credits that have to be claimed on a return
- Post-tax deductions, such as health insurance premiums
- Anything on a W-4 beyond filing status
- Head of household and married filing separately, which are not modelled
