What the Massachusetts figure includes

  • Massachusetts Part B income (including wages) is taxed at 5% for tax year 2026 (Massachusetts DOR tax rates page, updated December 30, 2025). Income exceeding $1,107,750 of Massachusetts taxable income is subject to an additional 4% surtax.
  • The personal exemption is $4,400 single or married filing separately, $8,800 married filing jointly, $6,800 head of household, plus $1,000 per dependent (Mass.gov, Personal Income Tax Exemptions, updated 6 January 2026; 2025 Form 1). 2026 Form 1 was not published at verification; the department has not restated these amounts as changing for 2026.
  • Form 1 line 11 deducts Social Security and Medicare withheld, capped at $2,000 per earner (2025 Form 1). This model has one wage income, so the cap is $2,000. Age, blindness and rental deductions are not modeled.

Massachusetts paycheck questions

How much is taken out of a paycheck in Massachusetts?

On the Massachusetts median wage of $63,590 (BLS, May 2025), paid every two weeks, about $506.73 of a $2,445.77 paycheck goes to tax: $209.65 federal income tax, $187.10 Social Security and Medicare, and $109.98 Massachusetts income tax. That leaves $1,939.04.

This assumes a single filer with the standard deduction and no pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) or health premiums, which would lower both the tax and the check.

Does Massachusetts have a state income tax?

Yes. Massachusetts taxes wages at a flat 5%, with a surtax on the part of income above the threshold shown below. The rules come from Massachusetts Department of Revenue.

What is the Massachusetts income tax rate for 2026?

5%, plus 4% over $1,107,750 of taxable income.

How much is $1,000 a week after taxes in Massachusetts?

About $801.58 a week, or $41,682 a year, for a single filer with the standard deduction in 2026. Federal income tax takes about $78.08 a week and Social Security and Medicare $76.50; Massachusetts income tax about $43.85.

Why is my real paycheck different from this estimate?

Employers withhold with the IRS percentage method and your W-4, not with an annual estimate split into pay periods. Pre-tax deductions such as a 401(k), health insurance or an HSA lower your taxable pay, and bonuses are often withheld at a flat supplemental rate. Over a full year the two should come close; a single check can differ.
