Maine Take-Home
Take-home pay in Maine: what makes it different
Maine paychecks lose federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%) and Maine state income tax. Maine's three brackets run 5.8%, 6.75% and 7.15%, with inflation-indexed thresholds, and a trade salary typically pays 6.75% at the margin.

A single filer earning $65,000 takes home about $49,500 a year (~76%), roughly $4,648 of which goes to the state. Enter any gross salary for the exact breakdown. (This page's table applies the 7.15% effective rate carried in the site's state-tax dataset.)
