Take-home pay breakdown for a single filer (2025-2026 tax year)

ⓘ Note: These are calculated estimates using 2025-2026 federal and Maryland tax brackets for a single filer with the standard deduction.

Maryland also has county/local income taxes (roughly 2.25-3.2%) not included here, so actual take-home is somewhat lower. Use our calculator for a personalized figure.
