Mississippi income tax rate (2026)
Mississippi charges a flat 4% on wage income — the same rate whether you earn $30,000 or $300,000. The rate applies after the state standard deduction of $2,300 (single) / $4,600 (married). Flat-rate states are easy to estimate: multiply taxable wages by the rate and you are within a few dollars of the real figure.

About Mississippi paychecks & taxes
Mississippi now taxes wages at a flat 4% — and the first $10,000 of taxable income is exempt entirely. Legislation passed in 2025 puts the rate on a path to keep falling, with a long-term goal of eliminating the income tax altogether.
There are no local wage taxes in Mississippi, so the estimate here (state flat rate plus federal and FICA) is close to complete — and slightly conservative, since the exemption and low rates favor the taxpayer.
