After-Tax Income Calculator (New York—2023)

0 ratings

Do you know your after-tax annual income?

What about how it would change if you took a job with a different salary? How it’s impacted by where you live? How it changes when you get married and file taxes jointly? How much it changes with a bit of side-hustle income?

I made this sheet to help answer those questions for myself. It helped me feel more informed and confident in my financial plan, so I thought it might be helpful for others, too.

After-tax income may be the most critical number to start with for personal or family financial planning.

It’s the amount available to cover annual expenses. When combined with expense tracking, it reveals your exact personal "net income," the amount you can add to your savings each year.

How It Works

STEP 1: Enter Annual Income by Type (for 1 or 2 people)

Annual Employment Income
Annual Self-Employment Income
Current Investable Savings
401k contribution amount (optional)

STEP 2: Select Primary Residence Location (options below)

New York City
New York State—outside NYC
Texas/Florida (for comparison)

STEP 3: See Precise After-Tax Income Estimate!

All calculations are based 2023 tax brackets

Use This Sheet To:

Compare job offers: instantly calculate real after-tax income from each
Understand the value of "side-hustles": quickly see the impact of potential self-employment income on your overall after-tax income
Plan large expenses: see the total annual amount available to cover large recurring expenses like mortgage payments, rent, auto loans, etc.
Project your annual net income: track your expenses (not included) and subtract the total from the after-tax income you find in this sheet
Make key financial decisions with your partner or spouse: quickly view different after-tax income and savings scenarios based on dual- or single-incomes, filing single or jointly, and investment weighting decisions
Inform retirement options: forecast whether and when you can retire early by zeroing out employment income to see your after-tax income purely from your investment portfolio (and adjust primary residence location to account only for the applicable taxes where you plan to live in retirement)
Inform any other important financial decisions
