How We Calculate & Keep This Accurate
We subtract the 2026 standard deduction from gross income, walk the federal brackets, then apply the Marylandstate standard deduction and brackets to the same income. The combined marginal rate adds both top rates because both taxes hit the same dollar. Credits, pre-tax deductions, and local taxes are not included; the paycheck calculator models those.
