Maine Tax Calculator

Maine taxes income through a tiered bracket system, and starting 2026 adds a new surcharge tier for income above a very high threshold, on top of its already elevated top rate for the region. The state does not tax Social Security and offers a pension-income deduction for qualifying retirees. This calculator applies Maine's current bracket schedule to your entered income.
