What shoppers pay in Silver Spring, MD
With about 81,015 residents, Silver Spring is a mid-sized Maryland city. Maryland applies a single 6.00% sales tax statewide and allows no county or municipal add-ons. A purchase rings up at the same rate in Silver Spring as anywhere else in the state, which makes the arithmetic unusually simple.
Census figures (ACS 5-Year 2023) put median household income in Silver Spring at $98,880, or about $1,902 a week. At the state's typical combined rate, a $500 purchase adds $30.00 in tax, and a $2,000 one adds $120.00. That larger figure works out to roughly 6% of a week's median household income here, which is why timing a big appliance or furniture purchase around a sales tax holiday can be worth the wait.
