How your Mississippi paycheck is calculated
- •Mississippi taxes 4% only on taxable income above $10,000 — and the rate is legally scheduled to phase down to 3% by 2030, then toward full elimination.
- •The $2,300 standard deduction and $6,000 personal exemption are combined here ($8,300), so a single filer's first ~$18,300 of salary is state-tax-free.
- •No Mississippi city levies a local income tax.
- •If the phase-out completes, Mississippi would become the 10th no-income-tax state.
