How this is calculated
Massachusetts taxes most wage income at a flat rate published by the Department of Revenue. This page applies that estimate-level rate with 2026 federal brackets and FICA.
High earners may owe an additional Massachusetts surtax on income over $1 million. That surtax is outside this general paycheck estimate.
Compare with New Hampshire for a neighboring no-state-income-tax-on-wages scenario.
