New York State Conversion of Tables
These instructions explain how to convert a table or method for
				the more common payroll periods in this booklet to use for other payroll
				periods.
A. General rule
1. Determine the factor that will convert the payroll in
				question to a more common payroll period for which tables are available (i.e.,
				quarterly is 3 times the monthly, 28-day is 2 times the biweekly, etc.).
2. Using this factor, convert the payroll to the equivalent for
				the more common period (quarterly ÷ 3 = monthly, etc.).
3. Apply the table or method for the more common period to the
				derived equivalent wages, and get the amount to be withheld for the more common
				period.
4. Convert the amount that would be withheld for the more
				common period by the factor found in Step 1 above. This is the amount to be
				withheld for the payroll period in question.
B. Using the Monthly table for Quarterly
				payrolls
1. Quarterly (3 months) ÷ monthly (1 month) = factor of 3.
2. Divide the quarterly wages by 3 to get a monthly
				equivalent.
3. Refer to the monthly withholding table, using the monthly
				equivalent wages, and get the amount that would be withheld monthly, under the
				appropriate exemption column.
4. Multiply the monthly withholding amount by 3 to get the
				quarterly equivalent. This is the amount to be withheld.
Example: New York State - Personal Income
				Tax
Quarterly wages of $6,750, married with 2 exemptions:
(1) Factor = 3
(2) $6,750 ÷ 3 = $2,250
(4) $65.90 x 3 = $197.70
C. Using the Monthly table for 10-day
				payroll
1. The monthly is 3 times the 10-day payroll.
2. Multiply the 10-day payroll by 3 to get a monthly
				equivalent.
3. Refer to the monthly table, using monthly equivalent wages
				and get the amount that would be withheld monthly, under the appropriate
				exemption column.
4. Divide the monthly amount to be withheld by 3 to get the
				10-day equivalent of the amount to be withheld.
D. Salaries paid on a 10-month basis: Converting salaries
				to a 12-month basis in order to use the Monthly table (or Semimonthly,
				etc.)
1. Divide the annual wages by 12 to arrive at the equivalent
				monthly wages (if payments are made semimonthly instead of monthly, divide by
				24).
2. Refer to the monthly table, using the derived equivalent
				monthly wages from Step 1 above, and obtain the amount that would be withheld
				monthly 12 times per year, under the appropriate exemption column. (If payments
				are made semimonthly, use that table.)
3. Multiply the amount that would be withheld 12 (or 24) times
				a year found in Step 2 above by 1.2 (12/10 or 6/5), to allow for the fact that
				withholding will occur in only 10 of the 12 months. This is the amount to be
				withheld from each of the 10 monthly payments or, if payments are semimonthly,
				from each of the 20 semimonthly payments.
