Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive salary in South Carolina

This is not a guess and it is not a job ad. It is the published BLS figure for secretaries and administrative assistants, except legal, medical, and executive in South Carolina, where the median was $44,880 a year. I keep the source on every page because a salary number without a source is just a story.

The middle half of workers earned from $36,880 to $52,420 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

$37,581 a year

$3,132 a month

Federal tax $3,206 · FICA $3,433 · State tax $660

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.
