Questions
How much is $20 an hour after taxes in Maine?
Working 40 hours a week at $20 an hour ($41,600 a year), you take home about $649 a week, or $1,299 every two weeks, after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Maine state income tax.
Does Maine have a state income tax?
Yes. Maine taxes wages with a graduated income tax, which this calculator includes along with federal income tax and FICA.
How is overtime calculated?
Hours over 40 in a week are paid at one and a half times your hourly rate for non-exempt workers under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Enter those hours in the overtime box; some states also require daily overtime, which isn't modelled here.
Why might my real paycheck differ?
This spreads the year's tax evenly across paychecks for a single filer taking the standard deduction. Your employer's withholding uses your W-4 and IRS tables, and 401(k), health insurance or other pre-tax deductions lower both your taxable pay and your take-home.
Three brackets from 5.8% to 7.15%. Includes Maine's new Paid Family & Medical Leave payroll tax at its maximum possible employee share — benefits (and the payroll deduction) only begin partway through 2026, so this slightly overstates the annual amount for this first year.
