Maryland tax brackets
The tax brackets in Maryland are progressive and vary depending on filing status and income level. Here are the Maryland tax brackets for tax year 2024:
| Taxable Income – Single or Married Filing Separately | Taxable Income – Married Filing Jointly, Surviving Spouse, or Head of Household | Tax Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Up to $1,000 | Up to $1,000 | 2% |
| $1,001-$2,000 | $1,001-$2,000 | 3% |
| $2,001-$3,000 | $2,001-$3,000 | 4% |
| $3,001-$100,000 | $3,001-$150,000 | 4.75% |

Maryland local taxes
In Maryland, local governments (including all 23 counties and Baltimore City) also withdraw taxes. The local income tax rates for 2024 range from 2.25% to 3.2% and are separate from the state income taxes shown in the table above. Maryland taxpayers pay local taxes based on the location of their residence, not the county where they work.
Maryland tax exemptions and tax deductions
Single filers with incomes below $100,000 qualify for a personal exemption of $3,200. If your income is above $100,000 (or $150,000 if married filing jointly), the personal exemption amount gradually reduces. The exemption gets phased out entirely once your income exceeds $150,000 ($200,000 for joint filers).
Maryland also allows taxpayers to claim a standard deduction of up to $2,700 for single filers and $5,450 for heads of household, married filing jointly, and surviving spouse. If you take the federal standard deduction, you must also take the Maryland standard deduction — you won’t be able to itemize at the Maryland level if you claim the federal standard deduction.
