Maine has 3 brackets for a single filer, so the rate on your last dollar is higher than your overall rate.
What this does not include
- Dependants, children, and credits that have to be claimed on a return
- Post-tax deductions, such as health insurance premiums
- Anything on a W-4 beyond filing status
- Head of household and married filing separately, which are not modelled
- Maine added a 2% surcharge on income above $1,000,000 in 2026, which this calculator does not model.
