Yes. Residents of the five boroughs pay New York City income tax on top of New York State and federal tax, at progressive rates from 3.078% to 3.876% of New York State taxable income. It is a resident tax: someone who works in the city but lives outside it does not owe it.
About $3,441 a year, or $287 a month, for a single filer with no pre-tax contributions. It comes on top of $4,860 of New York State income tax and $13,170 of federal income tax; after those, Social Security and Medicare, and state payroll deductions, take-home is about $70,467.
NYC uses its own progressive schedule, from 3.078% to 3.876%, applied to your New York State taxable income -- not your gross wages, and not a flat city rate. The city publishes separate brackets for single, married filing jointly, and head of household.
No. NYC's personal income tax applies to residents of the five boroughs. Someone who commutes in from New Jersey, Westchester, or Long Island owes New York State tax on income earned there, but not the city's resident income tax.
