Maryland withholding: 10 brackets up to 6.5%
Maryland takes a graduated bite for a single filer: 2% on the first $1,000 of taxable wages, rising to 6.5% on wages over $1,000,000 ($1,200,000 on a joint return). The $3,350 standard deduction comes off first ($6,700 for joint filers).
The calculator withholds from Maryland's 2025 rate schedule. At the default $75,000 salary, each extra $1,000 of pay adds $44.65 of Maryland tax a year.
Every Maryland county levies a local income tax of roughly 2.25-3.20% that is not included here.
