Firefighters salary in North Carolina
A job title alone does not tell you what you will earn. Place matters, sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars. In North Carolina, firefighters sat at a median of $37,940 a year, which is the figure I would use first when you compare offers.
MEDIAN ANNUAL SALARY
$18 per hour at the median · That is $21,340 (36.0 percent) below the national median of $59,280 for this occupation.
Salary range
| Measure | Annual |
|---|---|
| 25th percentile | $34,010 |
| Median (50th percentile) | $37,940 |
| 75th percentile | $47,690 |
| Mean | $43,060 |
The middle half of workers earned from $34,010 to $47,690 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.

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.
