How it works

Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets and standard deduction for your filing status. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to the annual wage base and Medicare 1.45% of all wages (plus 0.9% above $200,000 single). Maine's tax is figured on your income after a $8,350 standard deduction and a $5,300 personal exemption (single-filer figures).

Married figures assume the salary is the household's only income, filing jointly. Maine's property tax rate runs above the national average and funds most local services directly, but low insurance costs and a homestead exemption soften the total. Prices jumped as remote workers moved in.
