How this calculator works
Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets and standard deduction; Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500 and Medicare 1.45% (plus 0.9% over $200,000).
Maryland income tax uses its 2026 brackets, a standard deduction of $3,350 single or $6,700 joint and a personal exemption of $3,200, as compiled by the Tax Foundation.
What it assumes
- Standard deduction, no other income or credits, and the year's tax spread evenly across paychecks.
- Maryland has no state disability or paid-leave payroll tax that this leaves out.
- Some Maryland cities, counties or school districts tax wages (on average 2.4% where they do); enter yours as local income tax.
