Open Overtime Tax Calculator →When you work overtime in Maryland, each extra hour is subject to federal supplemental withholding (typically 22%), FICA (7.65%), and Maryland's graduated rate (up to 5.75%) state tax. Local taxes in some Maryland areas add to this burden. The overtime calculator shows you the real after-tax value of overtime work with Maryland rates, so you can decide whether extra hours are worth it.
Maryland uses a graduated income tax with brackets ranging from 2-5.75% + local. Lower income is taxed at lower rates, with the 5.75% top rate applying only to income in the highest bracket. This progressive structure means your effective state tax rate is always lower than the top marginal rate. In addition, some Maryland localities impose their own income tax, which stacks on top of the state rate. This is especially notable in areas like Baltimore and surrounding counties, which add 2.25-3.20%. Always check your local rate when calculating total tax liability.
