About Maryland income tax
Federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare still apply on top of Maryland's progressive state income tax from 2% to 6.5% — none of those federal deductions change state to state.
Maryland is unusual in that every county (and Baltimore City) levies a mandatory local income tax, typically 2.25%-3.2%, collected alongside the state return. This calculator shows the state-level bracket tax only — your real total will be higher once your county's tax is added.

Why is my total Maryland tax bill higher than this calculator shows?
