Maine Income Tax Rate 2024 - 2025

Maine state income tax rate table for the 2024 - 2025 filing season has three income tax brackets with ME tax rates of 5.8%, 6.75% and 7.15% for Single, Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, and Head of Household statuses. The Maine tax rate is unchanged from last year, however, the income tax brackets increased due to the annual inflation adjustment. Maine income tax rate and tax brackets shown in the table below are based on income earned between January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024.

Outlook for the 2025 Maine income tax rate is to remain unchanged with income tax brackets increasing due to the annual inflation adjustment. Maine State Legislature passed a bill last April which would have created a higher tax bracket of 8.45% applied to income over $500,000 for single filers and over $1 million if married filing jointly. Governor Janet Mills vetoed the bill stating that the public was not fully aware of the proposed changes and further discussion was needed.
