FAQ
MarylandSaves (or Maryland Saves) is a new state-mandated retirement program designed to give businesses a way to offer their employees an option to save for retirement.
Retirement eligibility at age 65 with at least 10 years of service, or age 60 with at least 15 years of service at a reduced benefit. Receive service credit for unused sick leave (visit the MSRPS website for more information)
The safe withdrawal rule is a classic in retirement planning. It maintains that you can live comfortably on your retirement savings if you withdraw 3% to 4% of the balance you had at retirement each year, adjusted for inflation.
The SECURE 2.0 Act increases 401(k) and SIMPLE IRA catch-up contributions for people age 60-63. Starting in 2025, the maximum additional catch-up contribution will increase from $7,500 to $11,250 for individuals who are between the ages of 60 and 63. This amount will be indexed for inflation annually after 2025.
Normal retirement is defined as either (1) reaching age 65, (2) reaching age 62 along with at least 10 years of ASRS service credit, or (3) earning at least 80 points. Points are figured by adding your age and the number of years of service.
MarylandSaves is a state-sponsored retirement savings program. Eligible employers are required to participate in the program or sponsor another qualified retirement savings plan, such as: 401(k) 403(a) qualified annuity plan.
Maryland is a moderately tax-friendly state for retirees. Here are a few key points to keep in mind about its income taxes: Social Security income is not taxed. Withdrawals from retirement accounts, (401(k)s and IRAs), are partially taxed.
The current full retirement age is 67 years old for people attaining age 62 in 2025. (The age for Medicare eligibility remains at 65.)
Officially, you'll start the retirement process with your employer, letting them know when you plan to stop working. Depending on your employer and your tenure, you may need to write an official letter of resignation, document your contacts, processes, and files, and maybe even train a replacement.
Does Maryland tax Social Security benefits? No. Taxpayers affected by the federal tax on Social Security and/or Railroad Retirement benefits can continue to exempt those benefits from state tax.
