Maryland Paycheck Calculator
Maryland’s 2026 employer guide combines state and county income tax withholding in its payroll tables. This calculator shows the state portion using MW507 exemptions. Maryland county income tax also applies to residents and is excluded, so an actual paycheck will generally be lower.

Taxes & payroll deductions
Each pay period is calculated separately. A dash means the current per-paycheck deductions exceed pay at that frequency. Annualized pay repeats the selected paycheck; actual yearly totals can differ near wage and contribution limits.
Local income taxes are not included in this estimate.

Assumptions and sources
- One employer; work and residence are in the selected state.
- Missing YTD wages are projected from the selected pay date and current pay pattern.
- Maryland state withholding follows the state portion of the 2026 percentage method. The published employer tables combine state and county withholding; this estimate separates out only the state rates.
- Maryland county income tax applies to residents but is not included because a county has not been selected. Actual take-home pay will generally be lower than the displayed estimate.
- The MW507 exemption count defaults to zero. The special no-withholding rule for certain single employees and students is not assumed because it depends on the employee’s total annual income.
- Maryland FAMLI employee contributions begin in 2027, so no FAMLI premium is withheld from 2026 paychecks.
- Local income taxes are not included in this estimate.
