Salary range
| Measure | Annual |
|---|---|
| 25th percentile | $29,430 |
| Median (50th percentile) | $35,880 |
| 75th percentile | $44,060 |
| Mean | $37,230 |
The middle half of workers earned from $29,430 to $44,060 a year. The gap between the mean and the median tells its own story. When the mean sits above the median, a smaller group at the top is pulling the average up. When the two are close, pay is more even across the field.

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY
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.
