Maryland Paystub - Frequently Asked Questions

Maryland requires both a state income tax (2–6.5% progressive rate) and a county or city income tax (2.25–3.30%). The county rate depends on where the employee lives, not where they work. This dual-tax structure is unique to Maryland.

Rates range from 2.25% (Worcester County) to 3.30% for many major jurisdictions including Baltimore City, Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and Howard County. Some counties now use progressive local rate schedules.

SB 38 (effective October 2024) requires: employer name and address, employer phone number, date of payment, pay period dates, hours worked, rate(s) of pay, gross pay, net pay, and itemized deductions. Sick and safe leave balance must also be communicated each payday.
