Mississippi has one of the simpler income tax structures in the South: the first $10,000 of taxable income is tax-free, and everything above it is taxed at a flat 4.4%. That zero-rate band means lower earners keep more of each paycheck, while higher earners face a single, predictable marginal rate. The calculator below applies the $10,000 exemption and 4.4% rate on top of federal tax and FICA to estimate your Mississippi take-home pay.

How take-home pay works in Mississippi

Your paycheck starts with your gross pay. From there, the federal government takes income tax based on 2025 marginal brackets and your filing status, plus FICA — Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, with an extra 0.9% on high earners).

Mississippi exempts the first $10,000 of taxable income from state tax and applies a flat 4.4% rate to income above that threshold. The state is on a path to gradually lower this rate in coming years. There are no local city or county income taxes on wages.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Mississippi income tax rate in 2025?
Mississippi taxes income above $10,000 at a flat 4.4%; the first $10,000 of taxable income is not taxed. The state has scheduled further rate reductions in future years.
Is any income tax-free in Mississippi?
Yes. The first $10,000 of taxable income is exempt from state income tax. Only the portion above $10,000 is taxed, at the flat 4.4% rate.
Are there local income taxes in Mississippi?
No. Mississippi cities and counties do not impose their own income taxes on wages, so only the statewide rate applies beyond federal tax and FICA.
Does Mississippi have a state income tax?
Yes. Mississippi taxes wage income (4.4% over $10k). The calculator above includes it in your estimate.
How is my take-home pay calculated?
We start from your gross pay, then subtract federal income tax (2025 marginal brackets), Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% over $200k), and your state income tax. Any 401(k) and pre-tax deductions are removed before income tax is figured.
Which states have no income tax?
Nine states have no state income tax on wages: Texas, Florida, Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington, Wyoming, Tennessee, and New Hampshire. Living there usually means a bigger paycheck.
Is this exact?
It is a solid estimate using 2025 federal and state rates and standard deductions. It does not capture local/city taxes, credits, or unusual situations. Treat it as a ballpark — not professional tax advice.
What is FICA?
FICA is the combination of Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Together they total 7.65% of most wages (6.2% Social Security up to the wage base, plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages).
