E-commerce Order Specialist salary in Memphis, TN-MS

Pay in Memphis against Tennessee and the US

The middle half of e-commerce order specialists in Memphis earns $36,110–$44,450. Pay is tightly grouped: the top tenth starts at $50,190, only 1.6 times the bottom tenth, against 1.8 times across the US, so the going rate is easier to read. From the 25th to the 75th percentile, the local range is only $8,340 wide, against $12,170 across Tennessee and $14,650 nationally: employers in Memphis pay within a narrower band.

What to budget for an e-commerce order specialist here

An offer at the 75th percentile instead of the median adds $3,680 a year in pay and about $4,748 in employer cost. Going down to the 25th percentile saves $4,660 in pay. These percentiles describe what people in the job earn locally, not experience levels, so place your offer by the tasks and seniority you need.

For scale, the US median of $46,170 falls between the 75th and 90th percentiles in Memphis, and the Tennessee statewide median of $39,160 falls between the 25th percentile and the median. An offer at the national rate would beat what three quarters of local e-commerce order specialists earn.
