Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education salary in Maine

This is not a guess and it is not a job ad. It is the published BLS figure for elementary school teachers, except special education in Maine, where the median was $62,390 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 $48,820 to $78,290 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

$49,777 a year
$4,148 a month
Federal tax $5,307 · FICA $4,773 · State tax $2,534

Caveat: the Maine Revenue Services revised May 2026 rate schedule PDF returned HTTP 403 and was not retrieved directly. Brackets and the $5,300 exemption rest on the September 2025 MRS schedule as reported and consistent secondary reporting; the $15,700 standard deduction is settled by a directly retrieved August 2026 MRS alert.

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.
