An estimate, not tax advice; ignores credits and itemizing. State tax is an estimate of the year’s state income tax on wages for the state you pick (and New York City, Yonkers or your Maryland county), from each state’s 2026 schedule; it is not your withholding. Uses the 2026 federal standard deduction and brackets, Social Security at 6.2% up to the $184,500 wage base, Medicare at 1.45% plus 0.9% above $200,000 ($250,000 married filing jointly). Your withholding can differ from the tax you finally owe.

How the number is built.
Federal income tax
- Standard deduction first. $16,100 single, $32,200 married filing jointly, $24,150 head of household for 2026.
- Then the brackets. 10% up to 37%, each rate only on the slice of income inside it.
- Before-tax savings help. Your 401(k) and health premium come off before the brackets.
Social Security and Medicare
- Social Security. 6.2% of wages, up to $184,500 in 2026. Above that, it stops.
- Medicare. 1.45% of all wages, with no cap.
- Additional Medicare. 0.9% more above $200,000, or $250,000 on a joint return.
State and city income tax
- Your state’s own rules. Each state’s 2026 brackets or flat rate, standard deduction and exemptions, checked against the state’s revenue department.
- Nine states tax no wages. Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
- New York City and Yonkers. City tax on the same taxable income as the state; Yonkers adds 16.75% of state tax.
What it leaves out
- Credits. The child tax credit and other federal and state credits lower your tax; they are not here.
- Itemizing. If your deductions beat the standard deduction, your tax is lower.
- Most local taxes. New York City, Yonkers and Maryland counties are included. Other city and county wage taxes (Philadelphia, Ohio and Michigan cities, Indiana counties) are not; add them with your own rate under Fine-tune.
