What comes out of a Maryland paycheck

Local taxes: All 23 counties and Baltimore City levy a local income tax of about 2.25%–3.3%. The calculator starts with 3% as a typical rate; change it to match your county.
Every US worker also pays federal income tax (10% to 37% after the 2026 standard deduction of $16,100 single or $32,200 married), Social Security tax of 6.2% on wages up to $184,500, and Medicare tax of 1.45% on all wages (plus 0.9% above $200,000). Traditional 401(k) contributions and employer health premiums are taken out before income tax, which lowers your tax bill.
