Inputs the ADP NYC Paycheck Calculator needs

  1. Gross pay (hourly, salary, or period gross).
  2. Pay frequency (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly).
  3. Filing status and W-4 info (allowances or the newer W-4 adjustments).
  4. Pre-tax deductions (401(k), health premiums, FSA/HSA).
  5. Post-tax deductions (union dues, garnishments).
  6. State of residence (NYC resident vs. non-resident matters).
  7. Optional: additional withholding amounts (if employee requests extra federal/state withholding).

Plain-text formulas (copy into Excel / JS)

1. Convert pay frequency to annual factor

yamlCopyEditannual_factor = {   weekly: 52,   biweekly: 26,   semimonthly: 24,   monthly: 12 }[pay_frequency] annual_gross = gross_per_period * annual_factor

2. Pre-tax adjustments

iniCopyEdittaxable_income_annual = annual_gross - annual_pre_tax_contributions taxable_income_period = taxable_income_annual / annual_factor

3. FICA (employee)

pythonCopyEdit# Social Security (OASDI) if (YTD_wages + taxable_income_period <= social_security_wage_base):     OASDI_this_period = taxable_income_period * 0.062 else:     OASDI_this_period = max(0, social_security_wage_base - YTD_wages) * 0.062  # Medicare Medicare_this_period = taxable_income_period * 0.0145 # Additional Medicare (if applicable; threshold is annual) if (YTD_wages + taxable_income_period > additional_medicare_threshold):     add_med = (YTD_wages + taxable_income_period - additional_medicare_threshold) * 0.009     Additional_Medicare_this_period = max(0, add_med)  # prorate as needed

(SSA wage base and thresholds change yearly — use current SSA/IRS values). Social SecurityIRS

4. Federal withholding (simplified percentage method)

iniCopyEdit# Use IRS Publication 15-T tables for precise amounts. # Approximation: federal_tax_this_period = lookup_using_pub15T(taxable_income_period, filing_status, W4_info)

(For production, call exact tables from Pub 15-T). IRS

5. New York State withholding

iniCopyEditNY_taxable_annual = taxable_income_annual  # adjusted for NY additions/subtractions NY_withholding_annual = compute_using_NY_withholding_tables(NY_taxable_annual, filing_status) NY_withholding_period = NY_withholding_annual / annual_factor

(Use NY Dept. of Taxation withholding tables or formulas). NY Tax Department+1

6. New York City tax (if resident)

iniCopyEditNYC_withholding_period = NY_taxable_annual * NYC_rate_lookup(taxable_income_annual) / annual_factor

(NYC uses progressive local rates; use up-to-date bracket table). Blog

7. Net pay

iniCopyEditnet_pay = gross_per_period - (federal_tax_this_period + OASDI_this_period + Medicare_this_period + NY_withholding_period + NYC_withholding_period + post_tax_deductions)

Example — Biweekly NYC resident, salary $70,000/year

  • Gross per period (biweekly): 70,000 / 26 = $2,692.31
  • Pretax 401(k) 5% = $134.62 per period → taxable $2,557.69
  • FICA (OASDI 6.2% up to wage base) ≈ $158.69 (if under wage base). Social Security
  • Medicare 1.45% ≈ $37.09. IRS
  • Federal withholding: use Pub 15-T tables (approx depends on W-4). IRS
  • NY State & NYC withholding: computed from state/local tables — ADP calculator automates these. ADP

(ADP’s online calculator can compute the full breakdown quickly if you prefer point-and-click). ADP

Why use ADP’s calculator (vs doing it manually)

  • ADP keeps current withholding algorithms, state/local rules, supplemental rates, and tables updated for you. ADPNY Tax Department
  • Handles YTD wages for proper Social Security wage base application and additional Medicare thresholds. Social SecurityIRS

Common adjustments & gotchas

  • Supplemental wages (bonuses) may be taxed at NY supplemental rates or added to regular wages — check NY guidance. NY Tax Department
  • Pre-tax benefits reduce federal/state taxable wages but not FICA (401(k) reduces FICA-taxable wages; HSA/FSA may or may not depending on plan).
  • Multiple jobs: Social Security and Medicare aggregate across employers (watch the wage base). Social Security
