Maryland Tax Calculator

The Maryland (MD) Tax Calculator is updated for the 2026/27 tax year and helps you estimate Maryland state income tax alongside federal income tax, FICA, and Medicare. Maryland applies a progressive state income tax and allows counties to impose additional local income taxes, which vary by jurisdiction. This calculator helps you forecast total state and federal taxes while including county-level adjustments.

It also reflects major Maryland credits, including the Earned Income Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit, and local property tax credits.
