What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for facilities managers is on the low side in Mississippi. The middle earner gets $93,640. That is 47 of 51 states, and about 12.21% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 486 occupations Mississippi reports, facilities managers comes in at 45 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $93,640 you keep $71,052 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $81,396 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $99,260, since top earners drag the number up.
- For facilities managers, Mississippi sits in the lower band at $93,640, ranking 47 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 12.21%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Facilities managers ranks 45 of 486 occupations by median in Mississippi, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Retained pay in Mississippi is $71,052 after the full tax stack, from $93,640. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $81,396 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $99,260 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of facilities managers in Mississippi earn under $93,640 and half over. The published range runs $51,030 at the tenth percentile to $156,590 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Mississippi's $71,052, worked from $93,640. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 45 of 486.
- Two cautions on $81,396, the adjusted value of that $93,640 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Mississippi. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 45 of 486 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for facilities managers in Mississippi, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $51,030 to $156,590; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- The Mississippi take-home of $71,052, on $93,640 for work ranking 45 of 486 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 45 of 486 in the state.
- This $81,396 adjusted figure, worked from $93,640, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 45 of 486 in the state. The occupation ranks 45 of 486 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $99,260 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $51,030 at the bottom tenth to $156,590 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $81,396.
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, $71,052 remains.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Mississippi is $99,260. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($51,030) and the ninetieth ($156,590) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
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 $81,396 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 $71,052 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
