## How this New Jersey paycheck estimate works

New Jersey has no standard deduction. Retirement and benefit tax treatment can differ from federal treatment. Employee unemployment, disability, and family-leave contributions are separate payroll deductions.

### New Jersey wage-income tax baseline

The following annual tax brackets come from Tax Foundation’s compilation as of 2026-02-11. That is the data date, not today’s date. The compilation includes prior-year amounts where updates were unavailable. This page does not claim these are current state withholding tables.

New Jersey: annual taxable-income bands in the dated baseline

| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| $0.00 | 1.4% | $0.00 | 1.4% | 
| $20,000.00 | 1.75% | $20,000.00 | 1.75% |

| $40,000.00 | 5.525% | $70,000.00 | 3.5% | 
| $75,000.00 | 6.37% | $80,000.00 | 5.525% | 
| $500,000.00 | 8.97% | $150,000.00 | 6.37% |

Baseline standard deduction: $0.00 single / $0.00 joint. Personal exemption: $1,000.00 / $2,000.00. Personal or taxpayer credit before modeled limits: $0.00 / $0.00. These amounts are not additional cash deductions from your paycheck.

### Example: $25 an hour, 40 hours, paid weekly

NEW JERSEY / SINGLE / SAMPLE VALUES **$1,000.00 gross → $819.93 estimated take-home** 

Federal withholding $78.08; Social Security $62.00; Medicare $14.50; New Jersey basic bracket tax $25.49. No local tax, insurance, benefits, or W-4 adjustments. Previous year-to-date wages are zero. This is a worked planning example, not a typical paycheck or an official payroll result.

### What should I copy from my New Jersey pay stub?

Check the pay frequency, gross wages, state income-tax withholding, local tax, and employee insurance or leave contributions. Keep employer-only contributions out of employee deductions. Copy previous FICA-taxable wages from the same employer to account for the annual Social Security limit.

### Will overtime change my New Jersey paycheck?

Use the extra-pay comparison to recalculate the same check with added gross earnings. The applicable gross overtime rules come first; this tax estimate does not determine all overtime wages due.
