Federal tax applies to wages after the $16,100 standard deduction; FICA applies to all wages. Tax-free stipends are excluded from both.
Same-state assignment — you file one resident return in your home state.
State income tax not included
We do not yet have a sourced bracket schedule for this state, so we are not estimating its income tax. A wrong state figure is worse than none. Federal and FICA figures above are complete and sourced; your true net pay will be lower than gross by more than the amounts shown, so the take-home figures on this page are labelled "before state tax" rather than presented as final net pay.

New York Pay Questions
How much do travel nurses take home in New York?
With the average New York package of $2,320/week and a state income tax (rate not estimated here), most travel nurses take home roughly 75–85% of gross — the tax-free stipend share is what pushes take-home above staff-job ratios. Enter your actual split above for your number.
What is the maximum tax-free stipend in New York?
Stipend ceilings are set per city by GSA per diem rates. Using New York's average GSA rates ($358/night lodging + $92/day M&IE), the typical weekly ceiling is about $3,150. Specific cities differ — check your assignment ZIP in the GSA Rate Explorer.
Is New York a good state for travel nurse pay?
New York averages $2,320/week and does levy a state income tax — we don't publish a specific rate here, since we only compute exact state tax for the 9 states with no wage income tax at all. With a cost-of-living index of 139.1, whether it beats a no-tax alternative depends on the actual rate gap — check New York's official tax tables and run both offers through the calculator to compare take-home.
Do I pay New York taxes as a travel nurse from another state?
Generally yes — you pay New York income tax on money earned there, and your home state typically credits it against your home liability. You won't usually be double-taxed, but multi-state filing is why many travelers use a travel-nurse-specialized tax preparer.
