Maryland, making 130,000 a year, what should I expect for take home?

Hi guys,

I’m a US citizen deciding between two job offers and need to make a decision in a few hours. I’m hoping to get some information today on the rough take-home pay for an annual salary of $130k. I’m married and will be filing jointly.

Online calculators suggest a take-home pay ranging from $7,200 to $8,100 per month, which is quite a wide range.

The job is in Columbia, Maryland, and includes health insurance and other benefits such as a 10% 401k match. I would need to pay about $300 per month for my spouse’s insurance.

Thank you. This decision is tough, and the financial aspect is crucial.
