The middle half of workers earned from $22,350 to $39,320 a year. Employment size matters too. A field with many workers in a state usually means more openings and more room to move employers without moving states. A small field can pay well but offer fewer ways in.

What stays in your pocket on the median salary

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY

$26,306 a year
$2,192 a month
Federal tax $1,497 · FICA $2,344 · State tax $494

Caveat: the Mississippi DOR page also contains a stale 4.4 percent line beside the explicit 2026 row at 4 percent, so re-check against the final 2026 Form 80-105 instructions.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
