Maine Capital Gains Tax

Maine taxes capital gains as ordinary income at rates up to 7.15%. Starting in 2026, a 2% surcharge applies to Maine taxable income over $1 million ($1.5 million for joint and head of household filers, $750,000 married filing separately), so the top combined rate is 9.15%. This calculator applies the 7.15% top rate to the whole gain, so it overstates the tax for most filers, and it uses the $1 million single threshold for the surcharge for every filing status.

Long-term: Taxed as ordinary income (up to 7.15%); +2% surcharge on income over $1 million ($1.5 million joint)

Short-term: Taxed as ordinary income (up to 7.15%); +2% surcharge on income over $1 million ($1.5 million joint)

NIIT Applied

The 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax applies because your income exceeds $200,000.
