Massachusetts Paystub - Frequently Asked Questions
Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) is a mandatory program that provides paid leave benefits to eligible workers. The contribution rate is split between employers and employees, with the typical employee share being 0.46% of wages. Benefits include up to 26 weeks of paid medical leave and 12 weeks of paid family leave.
Massachusetts voters approved a 4% surtax on income exceeding $1 million per year, effective in 2023. This "Fair Share Amendment" brings the effective tax rate on income over $1 million to 9% (5% base + 4% surtax). The threshold adjusts annually for inflation.
