Maine Paycheck Calculator
Maine has a graduated income tax with three brackets ranging from 5.8% to 7.15%. The top rate of 7.15% applies to income over $58,050 (single) or $116,100 (married filing jointly) in 2026. For most Maine workers, the effective state rate is close to 7% once income reaches typical full-time earnings levels, making Maine one of the higher-tax New England states for middle-income workers.
Maine does not levy city income taxes in Portland, Bangor, Augusta, Lewiston, or any other municipality. The state income tax is the only sub-federal income tax on wages. Maine does not have an SDI program, though employers may offer voluntary disability coverage.
Maine's standard deduction conforms to federal amounts. Pre-tax 401(k) and HSA contributions reduce Maine taxable income through federal AGI conformity. Maine also has a property tax fairness credit for lower-income residents, but this does not affect paycheck withholding.
