Worked Example

Let's look at an example calculation for a single filer with $75,000 in annual income:

1. Federal taxable income: $75,000 - $12,200 (standard deduction) = $62,800
2. Federal tax: $62,800 × 12% (first bracket) + $17,420 × 22% (second bracket) = $7,536 + $3,832.4 = $11,368.4
3. New Jersey taxable income: $75,000 - $12,200 = $62,800
4. New Jersey tax: $62,800 × 1.4% (first bracket) + $27,700 × 1.75% (second bracket) + $17,420 × 3.5% (third bracket) + $6,080 × 5.525% (fourth bracket) = $879.2 + $480.5 + $606.7 + $335.2 = $2,301.6
5. Total tax: $11,368.4 + $2,301.6 = $13,670
