I will make a gross salary of 66,000 per year at a new job and am
trying to estimate my take-home pay after all taxes. I have
used tax preparation software (TurboTax) to estimate my
federal, state and city tax on this new salary. However,  it is not
clear to me whether programs such as TurboTax include payroll taxes
(Social Security and Medicare) in their calculations or just general
income taxes. In other words, if it tells me that my federal tax
liability is 11,121 and my combined city/state tax is 5,556, do I
still have to count on an additional amount being witheld from my
paycheck to cover Social Security and Medicare taxes?

Social Security: 6.2%
Medicare: 1.45%

This will be calculated from your total salary (no deductions).  There
are a couple exceptions such as depositing money into an FSA, but few
people seem to take advantage of these.

(6.2% + 1.45%) * $66,000 = $5049.  This amount will be taken directly
out of your paycheck and it is in addition to State & Federal taxes.
