How Maine paycheck tax works
Maine has a graduated income tax for 2026 with rates of 5.8%, 6.75%, and 7.15%. Withholding subtracts $5,300 per allowance plus a withholding standard deduction ($12,450 single / $27,750 married) that phases down at higher incomes. Maine withholds supplemental wages such as bonuses at a flat 5%.
The calculator annualizes your pay, then runs Maine's 2026 graduated withholding alongside federal income tax and FICA. It's a close estimate rather than an exact match: your actual paycheck can differ from your employer's payroll, which may use exact per-period tables.
