- How do I work out my own hourly wage after taxes in Maryland?
- Multiply your hourly rate by your usual weekly hours and by 52 to get annual gross, then subtract federal income tax, Maryland state tax, your county's local rate (2.25%–3.30%), and FICA at 7.65%. Every page in this section does that for you, or the calculator on the homepage handles any rate, county, and filing status.
- Is biweekly pay the same as twice a month?
- No, and it is the most common mix-up with hourly pay. Biweekly means every two weeks — 26 paychecks a year. Semi-monthly means twice a month — 24 paychecks. At the same wage a biweekly check is smaller, but two months each year contain a third paycheck. Each rate page shows both.
- Why does Maryland take-home pay change by county?
- Every Maryland county and Baltimore City levies a local 'piggyback' income tax on top of the state rate, from 2.25% (Somerset and Worcester) to 3.30% (Baltimore City, Montgomery, Kent, and Dorchester). It is charged on where you live, not where you work, so two people on the same hourly rate can take home meaningfully different amounts.
