About Maryland Income Tax
Maryland has an eight-bracket progressive state income tax ranging from 2% to 5.75%. The 5.75% top rate applies to income over $250,000 for single filers. Uniquely, Maryland also requires all counties and Baltimore City to levy a local income tax, ranging from 2.25% to 3.2%. The combined state + local rate for most Maryland workers is 7.75–8.95%. Montgomery County residents pay the full 3.2% county tax on top of state rates, creating one of the highest effective total income tax burdens in the mid-Atlantic region. Maryland conforms to federal standard deduction. The state provides a pension exclusion for retirees and does not tax Social Security for lower-income recipients. Despite the high income tax, Maryland's property taxes are moderate, and the state has strong public services. Workers in the DC suburbs should budget accordingly for the combined county + state burden.
