Single filer with $60,000 in wages; the county tax is a percentage of Maryland taxable income and depends only on where you live. The 2026 standard deduction used for that base is the withholding figure, because the return figure was not yet published.
Local income tax only. Our full Maryland take-home pay calculator is not published yet: at least one 2026 state value has only one source so far (see the methodology). The local taxes on these pages do not depend on it, except where a page says so.
