Quick answer

A $150,000 salary in New York state (outside NYC) takes home about $105,454 per year. That works out to roughly $8,788 per month or $4,056 per bi-weekly paycheck for a single filer using the 2026 standard deduction, after federal tax, FICA, the state's progressive income tax, and New York Paid Family Leave, New York SDI (employee contribution).
