Cost Estimators salary in Mississippi

I would start with the middle, not the top of the range. For cost estimators in Mississippi, that middle figure was $71,230 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.

The middle half of workers earned from $52,060 to $91,570 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.

What stays in your pocket on the median salary

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY

$56,823 a year
$4,735 a month
Federal tax $6,841 · FICA $5,449 · State tax $2,117

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.
