Maryland’s USAspending obligation total

What $480.92B measures in Maryland

Maryland’s $480.92B is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov awards dated to FY2024–2026. An obligation is a commitment on an award record. It is not an outlay and not an Annapolis budget line. SpendingVault does not translate $480.92B into cash already paid.

Keep the two-decimal form. A rounded talking point would leave the indexed file. The matching volume statistic is 296,336 awards. Both figures come from USAspending.gov as published on the Maryland spending hub.

296,336 awards in the Maryland extract

296,336 awards is a record count. Modifications and assistance actions in the source add rows. It is not a unique-recipient roster, and this packet does not publish one. Dollars and rows can move independently.

The Maryland hub shows $480.92B beside 296,336 awards so readers do not infer one from the other. This page does not invent a typical award size from those two totals.

Maryland’s indexed fiscal years

Maryland’s posted numbers combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $480.92B is a window total. It is not a FY2026-only figure and not a calendar-year stack. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1.

USAspending.gov still takes corrections. A later ingest can move $480.92B and 296,336 awards. Cite the current index with the FY2024–2026 label. This packet has no ingest clock.

Maryland’s $480.92B is a FY2024–2026 obligation index from USAspending.gov, not an Annapolis budget line and not a Treasury cash clock. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1. The 296,336-award count uses the same window. Refreshing the Maryland hub can change both numbers when the award file is corrected.

Maryland’s 296,336 awards and $480.92B are FY2024–2026 USAspending.gov statistics. They do not describe unique recipients or cash already paid. The Maryland spending hub is the table view. This page is the roll-up sentence, not a substitute for those tables.

Maryland’s $480.92B and 296,336 awards are the FY2024–2026 roll-up. Reuse them with the obligation label and the three-year federal window. The Maryland spending hub does not convert those figures into outlays, and this packet does not add an agency mix to quote.

Maryland’s $480.92B stays an obligation figure on 296,336 awards for FY2024–2026 no matter which related table you open next. The Maryland spending hub does not quietly switch the series to outlays.

Series the Maryland hub does not replace

The Maryland hub is not a catalog of every federal dollar in the state. It is an award-obligation index. Flows that never become USAspending.gov awards sit outside $480.92B. State payroll-only series and some transfers live in other books.

If a Maryland federal-spending headline disagrees with $480.92B, check the series and the year. Do not force an outlay table onto these 296,336 award rows. Stay with obligations for FY2024–2026.

296,336 awards describe record volume, including modifications in the source. $480.92B describes commitments. They are independent columns. Inferring a typical Maryland award from those two facts would invent a statistic this packet does not include.

Annapolis budget documents and Treasury outlay tables are other series. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages keep obligations. Cite $480.92B with the FY2024–2026 window whenever the Maryland figure is reused.

Maryland links on this site

Agency pages, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings branch from the Maryland spending hub. They keep the obligation unit. None recode $480.92B as Treasury outlays or as Maryland’s state budget.

Use those pages when statewide Maryland is too coarse. This packet has no agency mix. The facts to carry forward are $480.92B, 296,336 awards, and FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov.

The Maryland spending hub lists award obligations. Non-award federal flows sit outside $480.92B. Agency pages, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings keep the obligation unit and do not recast Maryland as outlays. This packet has no agency mix to quote.

Reusing Maryland’s file totals

A usable Maryland citation names $480.92B in federal obligations, FY2024–2026, USAspending.gov award files indexed on SpendingVault, and 296,336 awards. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $480.92B cash outlays.

Side-by-side charts should hold every state to obligations and to FY2024–2026. The Maryland spending hub, agency index, comparison tool, and per-capita rankings all follow that rule.

A complete Maryland citation names $480.92B in federal obligations, FY2024–2026, USAspending.gov files indexed on SpendingVault, and 296,336 awards. Keep two decimals. Keep the obligation label so the figure is not read as cash already paid.
