Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants salary in Mississippi

This is not a guess and it is not a job ad. It is the published BLS figure for medical secretaries and administrative assistants in Mississippi, where the median was $36,290 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 $31,250 to $43,090 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

$30,619 a year
$2,552 a month
Federal tax $2,175 · FICA $2,776 · State tax $720

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.
