Frequently asked questions

Does New York have a lower rate for long-term capital gains?

New York generally taxes capital gains through its ordinary progressive personal-income-tax rates.

Does this include federal capital gains tax?

No. This page estimates the state layer. Use the federal capital gains calculator for the 0%, 15% or 20% long-term rate, ordinary short-term rates and possible 3.8% NIIT.

Why does other income change the result?

The gain can stack on top of other taxable income. In a progressive system, some or all of the gain may therefore fall into higher state brackets.
