Maine Paycheck Taxes
Maine withholds state income tax using its 2026 withholding method (graduated), in addition to federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
Maine also has employee-paid payroll taxes beyond income tax withholding: Maine Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML). These are calculated separately from state income tax and shown as their own line items in your results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Maine have state income tax?
Yes. Maine withholds state income tax on a graduated schedule using the filing status and allowances claimed on Form W-4ME.
What is Maine PFML, and is it withheld from my paycheck?
Maine Paid Family and Medical Leave is a payroll-funded program, but the amount an employer withholds from employees is an employer election, up to a statutory maximum of 0.5% of wages — it isn't a single fixed rate for every Maine employee. Enter your employer's actual rate in the State Taxes tab for an accurate figure.
What taxes come out of a Maine paycheck?
Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, Maine state income tax, and — depending on your employer's election — a Maine PFML premium. Maine has no local income tax.
