What else moves a paycheck in Maryland
Local income tax
Maryland's local income tax reaches everyone: each of the 23 counties and Baltimore City taxes residents on the same income as the state, from 2.25% in Worcester County to 3.30% in Dorchester and Kent. Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Montgomery, Prince George's and Howard all charge 3.20%. Anne Arundel uses brackets (2.70%, 2.94% and 3.20%) and Frederick sets one rate by income, from 2.25% to 3.20%. People who work in Maryland but live in another state pay 2.25% instead. On an $80,000 salary it adds about $1,650 to $2,420 a year. It is not deducted above; your employer withholds it alongside the state tax.
State payroll deductions this estimate leaves out
Nothing comes out of your pay for state programmes in 2026: Maryland has no state disability insurance, and unemployment insurance is paid by employers. That changes in January 2027, when contributions to FAMLI, the new paid family and medical leave programme, start at 0.9% of wages, and your employer may deduct half of it, 0.45%: about $360 a year on $80,000.
Minimum wage in Maryland
$15.00/hr Tipped workers can be paid $3.63 an hour if tips bring them to $15. Some counties set more from 1 July 2026: $18.00 in Montgomery County at employers with 51 or more workers, $16.00 in Howard and $15.30 in Prince George's. Rate as published by the US Department of Labor, September 2026.
Most of the salaries run through this page come from Maryland's largest job markets: Baltimore, Columbia, Germantown, Silver Spring, Frederick.
