Frederick Local Income Tax Explained
Frederick is one of the Maryland localities that charges its own income tax — a 2.96% local rate applied to wages on top of Maryland state income tax, federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. This local layer is easy to miss when comparing job offers or considering a move within Maryland: at a $60,000 salary the 2.96% Frederick tax runs about $1,776 a year, and at $100,000 roughly $2,960 — money a worker in a Maryland city without a local tax keeps. The calculator above already folds Frederick's 2.96% rate into your take-home, so the figures reflect what actually reaches your bank account, not just state and federal withholding.
Maryland uses a graduated state income tax topping out at 6.5%. That state layer stacks on top of federal income tax and FICA, so your take-home pay in Maryland is taxed more heavily than in a no-income-tax state at the same income.

FICA applies Social Security at 6.2% up to the $184,500 wage base and Medicare at 1.45% with no cap. Self-employment figures apply the 15.3% SE tax with the standard 50% deductible-portion adjustment.
