Maryland Paycheck Taxes
Maryland withholds state income tax using its 2026 withholding method (graduated (state) + mandatory county tax), in addition to federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
Maryland's mandatory county income tax is modeled via an explicit county rate input.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Maryland have state income tax?
Yes, a graduated state rate plus a mandatory local income tax that every Maryland county (and Baltimore City) imposes on top of it — Maryland residents always pay both.
Why do I need to enter a county rate for Maryland?
Because Maryland's local income tax rate is set by your county of residence and varies from county to county — there's no single accurate statewide default. Enter your county's current rate in the State Taxes tab; the calculator defaults to a representative rate until you do.
Does Maryland county tax affect take-home pay?
Yes — meaningfully. The county tax is calculated on the same Maryland taxable wages as the state tax and withheld alongside it, so it's a real, ongoing reduction to your paycheck, not a minor add-on.
What taxes are deducted from a Maryland paycheck?
Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, Maryland state income tax, and your county's local income tax. Maryland has no additional statewide employee payroll tax beyond these.
