How Maine paycheck tax works

Maine has a graduated state income tax. The field below is set to a typical effective rate of about 5.8 percent for a middle income worker, and you can change it. Social Security (6.2 percent up to the wage cap) and Medicare (1.45 percent) apply in every state. The table uses the 2026 federal standard deduction and brackets for a single filer with no 401(k) or other deductions.

Local taxes, city taxes, state disability or family leave payroll taxes and health insurance premiums can lower your check further. Always confirm with your employer or the Maine tax agency.
