Maine Income Tax Overview
Maine taxes resident income on a graduated scale with three brackets, topping out at 7.15%, plus a 2% surcharge from 2026 on taxable income above $1 million ($1.5 million for joint filers) that makes the rate on those dollars 9.15%. The lowest bracket is taxed at 5.8%, a middle band at 6.75%, and income above the top threshold at 7.15%. Maine Revenue Services indexes the bracket cutoffs for inflation each year and sets its own standard deduction, $15,700 for a single filer in 2026 (the federal figure is $16,100). A personal exemption of $5,300 further reduces taxable income.
This state tax stacks on top of federal income tax rather than replacing it, so a Maine worker settles two separate bills each spring. Residents owe Maine tax on all income wherever earned; nonresidents and part-year residents owe tax only on Maine-source income, such as wages from work performed in the state. Because the brackets are graduated, hitting the 7.15% rate does not tax your entire income at 7.15%, only the portion above the top cutoff.
