How Maine Paycheck Withholding Works
Three progressive tax brackets (5.8% up to $26,050, 6.75% up to $61,600, and 7.15% above $61,600) fully conforming to the federal standard deduction.
When computing your net pay in Maine, your payroll provider deducts three mandatory tax layers before issuing direct deposit:
- Federal Income Tax: Progressive federal tax brackets ranging from 10% to 37% based on your IRS Form W-4 and federal standard deduction ($14,600 Single / $29,200 Married for 2024).
- FICA Taxes: Mandatory federal payroll taxes comprising 6.2% Social Security (capped at $168,600 in wages) and 1.45% Medicare (uncapped, plus 0.9% additional Medicare for high earners).
- Maine State Income Tax: Graduated rates from 5.80% to 7.15%.
