## How this Maryland paycheck estimate works

Maryland county or Baltimore City income tax is separate. The basic estimate uses the maximum standard deduction and omits exemption phaseouts. Use payroll withholding for a closer check estimate.

### Maryland wage-income tax baseline

The following annual tax brackets come from Tax Foundation’s compilation as of 2026-02-11. That is the data date, not today’s date. The compilation includes prior-year amounts where updates were unavailable. This page does not claim these are current state withholding tables.

Maryland: annual taxable-income bands in the dated baseline

| Single: income over | Rate | Joint: income over | Rate | 
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| $0.00 | 2% | $0.00 | 2% | 
| $1,000.00 | 3% | $1,000.00 | 3% | 
| $2,000.00 | 4% | $2,000.00 | 4% | 
| $3,000.00 | 4.75% | $3,000.00 | 4.75% | 
| $100,000.00 | 5% | $150,000.00 | 5% | 
| $125,000.00 | 5.25% | $175,000.00 | 5.25% | 
| $150,000.00 | 5.5% | $225,000.00 | 5.5% | 
| $250,000.00 | 5.75% | $300,000.00 | 5.75% | 
| $500,000.00 | 6.25% | $600,000.00 | 6.25% | 
| $1,000,000.00 | 6.5% | $1,200,000.00 | 6.5% | 

Baseline standard deduction: $3,350.00 single / $6,700.00 joint. Personal exemption: $3,200.00 / $6,400.00. Personal or taxpayer credit before modeled limits: $0.00 / $0.00. These amounts are not additional cash deductions from your paycheck.

For a closer match to your check, select  **Enter payroll amount**  and enter your Maryland income-tax withholding. State and federal pre-tax treatment can differ. Enter eligible state pre-tax deductions separately when using the bracket estimate.

### Example: $25 an hour, 40 hours, paid weekly

MARYLAND / SINGLE / SAMPLE VALUES **$1,000.00 gross → $804.91 estimated take-home** 

Federal withholding $78.08; Social Security $62.00; Medicare $14.50; Maryland basic bracket tax $40.51. No local tax, insurance, benefits, or W-4 adjustments. Previous year-to-date wages are zero. This is a worked planning example, not a typical paycheck or an official payroll result.

### What should I copy from my Maryland pay stub?

Check the pay frequency, gross wages, state income-tax withholding, local tax, and employee insurance or leave contributions. Keep employer-only contributions out of employee deductions. Copy previous FICA-taxable wages from the same employer to account for the annual Social Security limit.

### Will overtime change my Maryland paycheck?

Use the extra-pay comparison to recalculate the same check with added gross earnings. The applicable gross overtime rules come first; this tax estimate does not determine all overtime wages due.
