What percentage of my salary goes to taxes in Maryland?
For most Maryland workers, total taxes (federal, state, county, and FICA) claim 20%โ€“35% of gross salary. At $50,000 the effective rate is roughly 22โ€“23%; at $100,000 it rises to 27โ€“28%; at $150,000 it reaches 31โ€“32%. The county piggyback tax (2.25%โ€“3.30%) is the variable that differs most between Maryland residents on the same salary.
Why does my Maryland take-home pay vary by county?
Maryland requires every county and Baltimore City to levy a local 'piggyback' income tax on top of the state rate. This local tax ranges from 2.25% (Somerset and Worcester counties) to 3.30% (Baltimore City, Montgomery, Kent, and Dorchester). Because the rate is based on where you live โ€” not where you work โ€” two people earning the same salary can take home over $1,000 more or less per year simply by living in different counties.
