How Maine taxes wages in 2026

Maine uses a graduated schedule with a top marginal rate of 7.15%. The standard deduction is $15,700 for single filers. A personal exemption of $5,300 applies. 2026 figures from the Maine Revenue Services schedule revised May 20, 2026. New for 2026: a 2% surcharge on Maine taxable income above $1,000,000 single ($750,000 MFS; $1,500,000 joint or HoH); the single threshold is modeled. Maine did not adopt the higher federal standard deduction for 2026 (it phases in to match federal in 2027). Standard deduction phases out above about $100,000 single / $200,050 joint and the personal exemption above about $333,450 single / $400,100 joint; neither phase-out is modeled.
