TALLIVOMaryland Paycheck Calculator
Your 2026 take-home pay in Maryland, after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and state income tax.
On Maryland's median household income of $109,700, a single filer takes home $81,149 a year — $6,762 a month — after $15,304 in federal income tax, $8,392 in Social Security and Medicare, and $4,855 in Maryland income tax.
That is an effective all-in rate of 26.0% for 2026 federal rules and 2026 Maryland rules, taxes only — no 401(k), health premiums, or other deductions. Your own figure depends on filing status and pre-tax contributions.
Paycheck taxes in Maryland
Maryland's 2025 budget act added two new top brackets for tax year 2025 — 6.25% above $500,000 and 6.5% above $1 million (single) — and raised the standard deduction to $3,350 / $6,700. Maryland counties add local income taxes of roughly 2.25% to 3.3% that are not included here, so real withholding on a paycheck is higher than this estimate.
Bonuses and supplemental wages in Maryland
Bonuses and other supplemental wages are frequently withheld differently from regular pay, and states set their own rules. This calculator applies Maryland's regular withholding to every dollar and does not model a separate supplemental rate, so a bonus paycheck can come out higher or lower than the figure above. Federal supplemental withholding is a flat 22% up to $1 million; for Maryland's own treatment, check the state authority linked below.
For the federal half, which this site does model, compare what withholding takes from a bonus against what you actually owe — the 22% flat rate is withholding, not a tax bill, and the difference comes back at filing.
Maryland vs. its neighbors
On a $100,000 salary you keep $74,794 in Maryland — $1,316 less than in neighboring Pennsylvania, $695 less than in West Virginia, and $550 more than in Virginia.
Federal income tax and FICA are identical in every state, so the whole gap above is state income tax. Single filer, $100,000 of wages, no 401(k) or other pre-tax deductions, 2025 state tables. Local income taxes (city and county) are not included. Run your own salary through the calculator above, or on any state's page.
Neighbours are only part of the picture. The study behind these figures ranks what a $100,000 salary takes home in all 50 states, with Maryland's row in place — the entire spread between best and worst is state income tax, since federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere.

How we calculate this
Federal brackets and FICA per our paycheck methodology, plus Maryland's 2026 state income tax. Estimates only — not tax advice.
Estimates for general informational purposes only; not tax or financial advice. State rules, local taxes, and credits vary — Maryland figures are simplified and should be verified with the state Department of Revenue. Actual withholding depends on your W-4 and benefits. This estimate does not model the county income tax every Maryland county charges on top of the state rate (roughly 2.25%–3.2%). Maryland's ten-rate 2%–6.5% schedule is applied with the $3,350 standard deduction and $3,200 personal exemption for a single filer — not itemized deductions, exemption phase-outs, or any Maryland tax credit.
