Hourly Pay in Massachusetts — 2026 Tax Guide

In Massachusetts, hourly workers pay federal income tax, 5% state income tax, and FICA (Social Security at 6.2% and Medicare at 1.45%). This calculator applies all 2026 IRS rules automatically.

Federal income tax is withheld using the percentage method based on your annualized income and filing status. The more you earn, the higher your marginal bracket — but your effective rate is always lower than your top bracket rate.
