Hello guys,
i am thinking of finding a job in New York City (Manhattan). I plan on living in the city, but was wondering if i could afford it. For that, I was calculating how much City and State Tax I would have to pay if I lived in Manhattan.
I cant find that information easily. Could you please let me know how much New York City Tax and New york state tax is?

Thanks
