FAMLI tax calculator

The Maryland FAMLI deduction per paycheck, the employer's share and the amount to remit each quarter. Nothing you type is stored.

They count toward the 15-employee test. No contributions are due on their wages.

$

Only matters near the Social Security wage cap.

Estimated amount to remit each quarter

$234

All Maryland employees at this pay, a quarter of the year's pay periods. If a year's pay is above the wage cap, the later quarters are lower, because wages above the cap do not count.

Assumptions

  • Total rate 0.9% of wages, split 0.45% employer and 0.45% employee, for wages paid Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2027. — source (2026-10-08)
  • An employer with fewer than 15 employees in total (inside and outside Maryland, same EIN; contractors do not count) remits 50% — the employee half. In 2027 the State tests the size each quarter from the quarterly report. — source (2026-10-08)
  • Wages count up to the Social Security wage base. The calculator uses $184,500, the 2026 base. The Social Security Administration sets a new base each year; for an employee paid more than that in 2027, check the 2027 base on ssa.gov. — source (2026-10-08)
  • Deductions apply to wages paid on or after Jan 1, 2027. A deduction that was missed cannot be taken from a later paycheck (COMAR 09.42.02.07, one narrow exception). — source (2026-10-08)
  • The quarterly figure assumes every Maryland employee earns the pay you typed. Your FAMLI account shows the exact amount after you file the quarterly report. — source (2026-10-08)

An estimate for planning — not tax, legal or payroll advice. Nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere. Private website; not the State's calculator.
