Does New Jersey have a local income tax?
No. No New Jersey city or county charges a local income tax on employees, so your paycheck loses only federal tax, the state income tax, the TDI, FLI and UI/WF deductions, and FICA.

A large check with overtime can have more withheld because the payroll formula annualizes that pay period, but any over-withholding comes back at tax time.
