2026 Tax Tables
Maryland uses a graduated state income tax that, after 2025 legislation, tops out at 6.5% with new high-income brackets. This calculator computes the state portion: it subtracts a flat $3,400 standard deduction and $3,200 per MW507 exemption, then applies Schedule I (single) or Schedule II (married / head of household). Every Maryland employee also owes a county “piggyback” local income tax of 2.25%–3.30%, which is shown as an advisory and must be added separately.
