Create a Maryland pay stubHow Maryland income tax affects a paycheck
Maryland uses progressive tax brackets, so the rate applied rises with annual income. Payroll annualizes each paycheck, applies the brackets below, then converts the result back to a per-period amount for the stub.
| Annual income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0.00 – $1,000.00 | 2.00% |
| $1,000.00 – $2,000.00 | 3.00% |
| $2,000.00 – $3,000.00 | 4.00% |
| $3,000.00 – $100,000.00 | 4.75% |
| $100,000.00 – $125,000.00 | 5.00% |
| $125,000.00 – $150,000.00 | 5.25% |
| $150,000.00 – $250,000.00 | 5.50% |
| $250,000.00 and above | 5.75% |
Some Maryland municipalities also levy a local income tax on top of the state rate. This generator calculates state tax only — add local withholding separately if it applies where you work.
Worked example: $25/hour in Maryland
An hourly employee earning $25.00 an hour, working 80 hours in a bi-weekly period, filing single:
| Gross pay | $2,000.00 |
| Federal income tax | −$163.69 |
| Social Security (6.2%) | −$124.00 |
| Medicare (1.45%) | −$29.00 |
| Maryland income tax | −$92.98 |
| Net pay | $1,590.33 |
That is 79.5% of gross pay taken home. Estimates for a standard W-2 employee with no pre-tax benefit deductions; not tax advice.
