New Jersey income tax uses its 2026 brackets and a personal exemption of $1,000, as compiled by the Tax Foundation.
What it assumes
- Standard deduction, no other income or credits, and the year's tax spread evenly across paychecks.
- New Jersey also takes temporary disability and family leave insurance out of wages, which this estimate doesn't include.
- No widespread local income tax.
