What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for concierges is on the low side in Mississippi. The middle earner gets $35,360. That is 32 of 47 states, and about 9.22% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Against 486 occupations Mississippi publishes, concierges lands at 403. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- Here is where Mississippi does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $35,360 you keep $29,269, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $33,530 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $36,130, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For concierges, Mississippi sits in the lower band at $35,360, ranking 32 of 47 and trailing the national median by about 9.22%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Within Mississippi, this work ranks 403 of 486 occupations by median pay, in the bottom quartile. The within-state position is the more salient one for anyone weighing this job against alternatives available to them locally.
- After federal, FICA and Mississippi income tax, retained pay for concierges on $35,360 is $29,269. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $33,530 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $36,130 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $35,360 as a midpoint for Mississippi, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $29,260 and the ninetieth is $47,170 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $29,269 take-home in Mississippi comes from $35,360. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 403 of 486.
- One number stands for prices across all of Mississippi, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $33,530, the adjusted value of that $35,360 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 403 of 486 in the state.
- The Mississippi median of $35,360 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $29,260 to $47,170. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $29,269, from $35,360, assumes a single Mississippi filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 403 of 486 locally, and the state ranks 32 of 47 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Mississippi, so $33,530 — the adjusted value of that $35,360 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 403 of 486 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $29,260 at the tenth percentile, $47,170 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Mississippi is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $33,530 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Mississippi's own levy, $29,269 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 47 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($29,260 to $47,170) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Mississippi rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Mississippi's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $33,530 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $29,269 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Mississippi income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 47 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
