Maryland Tax Brackets 2023 - 2024

Looking at the tax rate and tax brackets shown in the tables above for Maryland, we can see that Maryland collects individual income taxes differently for Single versus Married filing statuses, for example. We can also see the progressive nature of Maryland state income tax rates from the lowest MD tax rate bracket of 2% to the highest MD tax rate bracket of 5.75%.

For single taxpayers living and working in the state of Maryland:

  • Tax rate of 2% on the first $1,000 of taxable income.
  • Tax rate of 3% on taxable income between $1,001 and $2,000.
  • Tax rate of 4% on taxable income between $2,001 and $3,000.
  • Tax rate of 4.75% on taxable income between $3,001 and $100,000.
  • Tax rate of 5% on taxable income between $100,001 and $125,000.
  • Tax rate of 5.25% on taxable income between $125,001 and $150,000.
  • Tax rate of 5.5% on taxable income between $150,001 and $250,000.
  • Tax rate of 5.75% on taxable income over $250,000.

For married taxpayers living and working in the state of Maryland:

  • Tax rate of 2% on the first $1,000 of taxable income.
  • Tax rate of 3% on taxable income between $1,001 and $2,000.
  • Tax rate of 4% on taxable income between $2,001 and $3,000.

For the Single, Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, and Head of Household filing statuses, the MD tax rates and the number of tax brackets remain the same. Notice, however, the Maryland income tax brackets for Married Filing Jointly and Head of Household increase in the fourth bracket from $100,000 to $150,000 at 4.75%, and increase from $250,000 to $300,000 at 5.75% the highest tax bracket. Single and Married Filing Separately income tax brackets are not one half that of the Married Filing Jointly income tax brackets in the state of Maryland.
