How Mississippi paycheck tax works
Mississippi taxes the first $10,000 of taxable income at 0% and everything above it at a flat 4% for 2026. Withholding subtracts both a standard deduction ($2,300 single) and a personal exemption ($6,000 single) before applying the rate. There is no local wage income tax in Mississippi.
The calculator annualizes your pay and applies Mississippi's 2026 flat-rate withholding on top of federal income tax and FICA. Treat the result as a close estimate; your employer may withhold from per-period tables that differ slightly.
