Maryland State Income Tax Guide (2026)
Maryland has progressive state income tax brackets from 2.0% to 5.75%, and most residents also pay a separate county income tax.
1. Maryland Progressive Tax Brackets
Maryland uses progressive tax brackets, meaning higher portions of your income are taxed at higher rates - up to a top marginal rate of 5.75%. You only pay the higher rate on the dollars that fall within each bracket, not on your entire salary.
| MD Taxable Income (Single) | Marginal Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 to $1,000 | 2% |
| $1,001 to $2,000 | 3% |
| $2,001 to $3,000 | 4% |
| $3,001 to $100,000 | 4.75% |
| $100,001 to $125,000 | 5% |
| $125,001 to $150,000 | 5.25% |
| $150,001 to $250,000 | 5.5% |
| $250,001 and over | 5.75% |
2. Deductions and Conformance
For 2026, the Maryland standard deduction is $3,200 for single filers and $6,400 for married couples filing jointly. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions, and employer health premiums reduce your Maryland taxable income.
3. Local Income Taxes
Maryland counties and Baltimore City add a local income tax (typically 1.75% to 3.2%), not included in this calculation.
