What changes the number in Mississippi

Local cost indexBelow the national baseline	0.85x national
Permit fee index	0.80x national
Code basisAdopted locally	Local adoption of the IRC; coastal counties enforce wind requirements
Owner-builder posture	Homeowner permits widely allowed
Largest markets	Jackson, Gulfport, Hattiesburg

The formula

Cost = doors x (material cost + sidelights) + frame work + hardware + labor

Slab-only swaps are cheapest. Replacing the jamb, threshold and weatherstripping (a pre-hung unit) costs more but fixes air leaks and sticking doors.

Typical installed cost is $1,200 to $4,000 in 2026 depending on material and whether sidelights are included.
