How Maryland taxes your paycheck
Maryland has a progressive income tax from 2% to 6.5%. Your employer withholds it from every check using the state's 2026 withholding formula and your MW507.
For 2026 the standard deduction is $3,350 for single filers and $6,700 for married couples filing jointly.
Some Maryland cities or counties add a local income tax: County / Baltimore City local income tax (residents), Special nonresident tax (in lieu of local tax), MD residents working in Delaware or another nonreciprocal state.
Maryland has reciprocal agreements with DC, VA, WV, PA (state portion only; local still withheld unless PA locality exemption): if you live in one of those states and work in Maryland, you can ask your employer to withhold only your home state's tax.
