Common questions

How much does a Baltimore City Government employee make?

The typical employee was paid $75,373 in 2025: half of the 13,135 people paid earned more, half earned less. Most earned between $46,969 and $110,537.

Why do so many people earn very little?

The list includes everyone who got a paycheck during the year: part-time, seasonal and short-term workers, and people who joined or left partway through. 954 people (7.3%) were paid under $10,000.

Does this include benefits like health insurance or pension?

No. It is gross pay as published; the source does not split it into regular pay and overtime.

Where does this data come from, and when is it updated?

From City of Baltimore (Bureau of the Budget and Management Research / DHR) (baltimorecity.gov). Our figures match the agency's latest release; the next update is expected after the fiscal year closes.

"Typical pay" is the median: half earn more, half earn less. "Most earn" is the middle half of workers. Figures are calculated by PublicPayData from the official dataset; 112 records with $0 or negative pay are left out. How we calculate this · Corrections & removals
