Source: IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32 · Source verified July 22, 2026
A Maryland paycheck calculator is a payroll utility that estimates net take-home pay for individuals employed in the state of Maryland. Maryland employs a progressive state personal income tax structure, and additionally, each of its twenty-three counties plus Baltimore City levies a mandatory local income tax added onto the state rate. The calculator determines net pay by subtracting federal income taxes, FICA taxes, Maryland state income taxes, and local county taxes from gross earnings. It adjusts for pay frequency, filing status, and elective pre-tax deductions.
Enter gross pay, pay frequency, filing status, and deductions. The calculator estimates your Maryland take-home pay using federal brackets, FICA, and state tax rules.
