Maryland uses graduated income tax brackets in 2026, with marginal rates running from 2% to 6.5%. Only the portion of your income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate, so your effective state tax rate is always lower than your top marginal rate. A single filer's state standard deduction is $3,400. A personal exemption of $3,200 also applies for single filers. Every Maryland county also charges a local income tax on top of the state tax.
