How Maine taxes wages
Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. The calculator uses a standard deduction of $8,350 for a single filer and $16,700 for joint filers and a personal exemption of $5,300 ($10,600 joint). Maine’s rates are 5.8%, 6.75%, and 7.15%. The standard deduction on this table is the pre-OBBBA federal amount, $8,350 single, because of the conformity note in the Tax Foundation compilation. Maine PFML is not included until the employee rate is confirmed. The deduction phaseout at higher incomes is not applied. Source: Maine Revenue Services.
What is not in the state income tax number
The state line here is income tax only. Federal income tax follows IRS Publication 15-T, and Social Security and Medicare are the same in every state. Maine has no employee local wage tax in this calculator.
