I am getting late.
It's getting late for me.
"I am getting late" is understood but not the common way people say it. The common way is "I am running late".
"It is getting late" is used to say that time is passing and especially that evening or late evening is coming. "It is getting late for me" means that "by my standards or needs it's getting late". This means that "for someone else it might not be getting late just yet but for me it already is".
It's getting late for me
is idiomatic. I would use that if we are out somewhere and I want to go home.
