SALARY · SECURITY GUARDS · NORTH CAROLINA
Security Guards salary in North Carolina
I would start with the middle, not the top of the range. For security guards in North Carolina, that middle figure was $35,010 a year. It gives you a steadier base for rent, bills and savings plans than a headline salary that only a small share of workers actually reach.
MEDIAN ANNUAL SALARY
$17 per hour at the median · That is $3,010 (7.9 percent) below the national median of $38,020 for this occupation.
Salary range
| Measure | Annual |
|---|---|
| 25th percentile | $30,640 |
| Median (50th percentile) | $35,010 |
| 75th percentile | $43,610 |
| Mean | $39,090 |
The middle half of workers earned from $30,640 to $43,610 a year. Do not read the percentile range as good versus bad jobs. It mostly reflects experience, hours, employer type and local demand. A new starter near the 25th percentile and a veteran near the 75th can both be fairly paid for their stage.

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY
Caveat: the North Carolina rate is from NCDOR, but the $12,750 deduction comes from the statute text, not an NCDOR deduction page.
