How do Maryland taxes affect your paycheck?
Maryland withholding is roughly $2,745 a year on a $75,000 salary — about $105.59 per biweekly paycheck. Maryland also has an employee-paid disability or paid-leave premium (typically under 1% of wages) that isn’t included here. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions and health premiums usually lower your Maryland taxable income too, so they save both federal and state tax.
