New York Overtime Calculator
New York pays overtime after 40 hours — after 44 for residential, live-in workers — and keeps two minimum wages by region: $17.00 downstate and $16.00 elsewhere, unchanged on January 1, 2027. The state taxes overtime and chose to give relief for tips only.

Your no-tax-on-overtime deduction
New York (2026): taxes all overtime — no state deduction.
Rules that go beyond overtime
When the spread of your workday is more than 10 hours, or you work a split shift, New York requires one extra hour of pay at the minimum wage. Factories, mercantile establishments, hotels, restaurants and certain building workers must get 24 consecutive hours of rest each week; domestic workers who work on their rest day earn premium pay. None of these is overtime, and the calculator does not add them.
Why 2027 brings no raise
The Department of Labor explains that New York’s rates can rise with inflation each year, but the law contains “off-ramps” that block an automatic increase, and one of them was triggered for 2027. Rates stay at $17.00 in New York City, Long Island and Westchester and $16.00 in the rest of the state.
Filing a claim
Wage theft claims go to the Division of Labor Standards; farm workers use a separate form, LS710. Send copies, not original documents.
State tax
New York starts from federal AGI, which the federal overtime deduction does not touch. The Tax Department’s FY 2027 budget materials describe a new state deduction for tipped wages — and nothing comparable for overtime.
