How Mississippi taxes a paycheck
Mississippi taxes wages at a flat 4% for 2026, with the first $10,000 of taxable income exempt — the Build Up Mississippi Act (HB 1, 2025) then steps the rate down 0.25 points a year to 3% by 2030 and toward eventual full elimination.
The 2026 Mississippi standard deduction is $2,300 for a single filer and $4,600 for a married couple filing jointly.
Mississippi allows a personal exemption of $6,000 per filer before its rate applies.

Mississippi paycheck questions, answered
- How much is $75,000 after taxes in Mississippi?
- About $59,325 a year, or $4,943.71 a month, for a single filer with no 401(k) on 2026 tables. The deduction lines: $7,670 federal income tax, $2,268 Mississippi income tax, $5,738 FICA. The calculator above runs the same math on any salary.
- What is the Mississippi income tax rate for 2026?
- Mississippi runs 2 brackets in 2026, from 4% up to 4% on the highest slice of income. Only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate, so your top rate is not your average rate. The single-filer standard deduction is $2,300.
- How much tax is taken out of a paycheck in Mississippi?
- At a $75,000 salary, about 20.9% all-in: federal income tax, Mississippi income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. The share moves with income — the calculator recomputes it for any salary and filing status.
- Is this the exact amount my employer will withhold?
- No — it is a planning estimate on 2026 tables. Actual withholding follows your W-4 elections, benefit premiums, and any local taxes, so individual paychecks can differ even when the year's total lands close. Nothing you type here leaves your browser.
