How this is calculated
New Jersey taxes wage income with progressive brackets published by the Division of Taxation. This page applies our estimate-level brackets with 2026 federal rules and FICA.
If you work in New York City or Philadelphia, use those city pages for local payroll tax scope.
The estimate is for planning, not a replacement for your employer's NJ-W-4 withholding worksheets.
