How Maryland paychecks are taxed in 2026
Maryland taxes income on a graduated state schedule for 2026, applied after the state deduction for your filing status. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your Maryland take-home pay.
Adjust your filing status, pay frequency, and gross wage above to update the breakdown.
What this estimate doesn't include: State tax only. Maryland counties and Baltimore City levy a separate LOCAL income tax (roughly 2.25%-3.30% of Maryland taxable income, varying by county) that is NOT included in this estimate. At moderate incomes the local piece can rival or exceed the state tax. The 2% Maryland surtax on net capital gains (for filers with federal AGI over $350,000) is not modeled. Personal exemptions and itemized-deduction phase-outs are not modeled; this estimate assumes the standard deduction.
Estimates for general guidance only — not tax advice. This calculator approximates withholding using 2026 federal brackets, the standard deduction, and FICA. It does not account for pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA, health premiums), additional W-4 adjustments, local taxes, or credits. Verify with a tax professional or the IRS.
