About New Jersey's rates
New Jersey's gross income tax brackets are statutory and are not automatically indexed for inflation. That makes bracket thresholds unusually sticky compared with states that publish annual CPI adjustments. New Jersey also taxes capital gains at ordinary-income rates.
State tax sits on top of federal — see the current federal tax brackets and standard deductions to estimate your full 2026 liability.

Planning note
For people working across NJ, NY, and PA, bracket math is only part of the story. Resident-credit and sourcing rules can change the practical tax cost of a commute or remote-work setup.
