How it works

Tax year: 2026.

Maine taxes income at 5.8% to 7.15%. Enter income before state deductions and choose whether to apply the state standard deduction and personal exemptions, or enter taxable income and switch them off. The tool computes state income tax only; credits other than those named are not applied.

Maine's 2026 rates are 5.8, 6.75 and 7.15 percent, and from 2026 a 2 percent surcharge applies to taxable income over $1,000,000 ($750,000 separate, $1,500,000 joint or head of household). The 2026 standard deduction is $15,700 single or separate, $23,550 head of household and $31,400 joint; the personal exemption is $5,300 per filer.

The tool phases the standard deduction out for single and joint filers over the ranges Maine Revenue Services publishes for 2026. Head of household and separate filers with high income, and the personal exemption phase-out, need the Form 1040ME worksheets.

Local taxes: Maine municipalities do not levy a local income tax.
