Massachusetts State Income Tax Guide (2026)

Massachusetts applies a 5.0% income tax, plus a 4% surtax on income exceeding $1 million (Amendment 1 / Millionaires Tax), for a top rate of 9.0%.

1. Massachusetts Progressive Tax Brackets

Massachusetts uses progressive tax brackets, meaning higher portions of your income are taxed at higher rates - up to a top marginal rate of 9.0%. You only pay the higher rate on the dollars that fall within each bracket, not on your entire salary.

MA Taxable Income (Single)Marginal Rate
$0 to $1,000,0005%
$1,000,001 and over9%

2. Deductions and Conformance

Massachusetts does not offer a standard deduction, so the rate applies from the first dollar of taxable income. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions, and employer health premiums reduce your Massachusetts taxable income.

3. Local Income Taxes

Massachusetts adds a 4% surtax (Amendment 1) on taxable income over $1,000,000, bringing the top marginal rate to 9.0%.
