Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists salary in Maryland

I would start with the middle, not the top of the range. For bus and truck mechanics and diesel engine specialists in Maryland, that middle figure was $74,790 a year. It gives you a steadier base for rent, bills and savings plans than a headline salary that only a small share of workers actually reach.

The middle half of workers earned from $60,920 to $84,180 a year. Do not read the percentile range as good versus bad jobs. It mostly reflects experience, hours, employer type and local demand. A new starter near the 25th percentile and a veteran near the 75th can both be fairly paid for their stage.

ESTIMATED PAY BEFORE STATE TAX

$5,120 a month
Federal tax $7,624 · FICA $5,721

State tax is not in this figure. State tax for Maryland is not included, because the full 2026 state table for Maryland has not been verified in this build. Treat this figure as before state tax, not as a final take-home figure.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
