How Maryland taxes income
Maryland has 10 brackets for a single filer, so the rate on your last dollar is higher than your overall rate.
Every Maryland county levies its own income tax, between about 2.25% and 3.2%. This calculator does not include it, so your real deduction will be noticeably higher.
What this does not include
- Local or city income tax, which Maryland allows
- Dependants, children, and credits that have to be claimed on a return
- Post-tax deductions, such as health insurance premiums
- Anything on a W-4 beyond filing status
- Head of household and married filing separately, which are not modelled
