Maine Tax Calculator

The Maine (ME) Tax Calculator is updated for the 2026/27 tax year. It estimates Maine state income tax together with federal income tax, FICA, and Medicare contributions to show your total tax burden and take-home pay. Maine applies a progressive state income tax structure and conforms to many federal definitions of income and deductions, making this tool ideal for accurate year-end estimates.

The calculator supports resident, part-year, and nonresident filers who earn income in Maine or have Maine-based employment.
