What this estimate leaves out
Every estimate assumes one earner with wages only, the 2026 standard deduction, and no tax credits. It leaves out the new federal deductions for tips, overtime and seniors, the child tax credit, itemized deductions, and pre-tax health insurance. For Maine, it also doesn't include Maine's credits and the phase-out of the standard deduction and exemption at high incomes. Your actual paycheck withholding can differ from your final tax bill.
