Questions

New York gig workers ask.

What is the income tax rate in New York?
New York applies an effective rate of approximately 6.25%% for most middle-income workers (based on 2025 tax tables). Your actual rate may vary depending on your total income, filing status, and deductions. These are estimated figures for recordkeeping purposes — consult a tax professional for precise calculations.
What is SDI and why does it appear on my New York document?
SDI (State Disability Insurance) is a New York payroll deduction that funds state disability and, in some cases, paid family leave programs. It appears as a separate deduction line on your income document because it is a standard withholding for workers in New York.
