State-specific calculation

New Jersey uses a state-specific calculation that cannot be represented accurately as one simple bracket table. Use the calculator above for the supported filing situation and inputs.

Bracket tables are a simplified reference. Your actual state tax can depend on deductions, credits, filing status, special taxes, and other state-specific rules.
