Mississippi has a flat income tax of 5% — All earnings are taxed at the same rate, regardless of total income level

Both Mississippi's tax brackets and the associated tax rates were last changed one year ago in 2022.

Mississippi has a flat income tax rate which applies to both single and joint filers. The Federal Income Tax, in contrast to the Mississippi income tax, has multiple tax brackets with varied bracket width for single or joint filers.

How do Mississippi tax brackets work?

Technically, you don't have just one "tax bracket" - you pay all of the Mississippi marginal tax rates from the lowest tax bracket to the tax bracket in which you earned your last dollar. For comparison purposes, however, your Mississippi tax bracket is the tax bracket in which your last earned dollar in any given tax period falls.

You can think of the bracketed income tax as a flat amount for all of the money you earned up to your highest tax bracket, plus a marginal percentage of any amount you earned over that. The chart below breaks down the Mississippi tax brackets using this model:

For earnings over $10,000.00, you'll pay 5% plus $0.00
For earnings over $10,000.00, you'll pay 5% plus $0.00

Mississippi Income Tax Estimator

You can use the income tax estimator to the left to calculate your approximate Mississippi and Federal income tax based on the most recent tax brackets.

Keep in mind that this estimator assumes all income is from wages, assumes the standard deduction, and does not account for tax credits.

Mississippi Tax Deductions

When calculating your Mississippi income tax, keep in mind that the Mississippi state income tax brackets are only applied to your adjusted gross income (AGI) after you have made any qualifying deductions.

Qualifying deductions might include an itemized deduction, the Mississippi standard deduction, exemptions for dependants, business expenses, etc.

Remember that Mississippi may have very different deduction laws from the Federal Income Tax, so you may have to write a whole new list of deductions for your Mississippi income tax return.

Mississippi Standard Deductions & Personal Exemption Amounts


In addition to marginal tax brackets, one of the major features of the Mississippi income tax is deductions. The three most common deductions encountered by taxpayers are the Mississippi Standard Deduction, the Mississippi Personal Exemption, and the Mississippi Dependent Deduction. The current values of these deductions for tax year 2023 are as follows:

Standard Deduction (Single) Standard Deduction (MFJ) Personal Exemption Dependant Exemption
$2,300.00 $4,600.00 $6,000.00 $1,500.00

The standard deduction, which Mississippi has, is a deduction that is available by default to all taxpayers who do not instead choose to file an itemized deduction. Essentially, it translates to $2,300.00 per year of tax-free income for single Mississippi taxpayers, and $4,600.00 for those filing jointly.

The Personal Exemption, which is supported by the Mississippi income tax, is an additional deduction you can take if you (and not someone else) are primarily responsible for your own living expenses. Likewise, you can take an additional dependent exemption for each qualifying dependent (like a child or family member), who you financially support.

The Federal income tax also has a standard deduction, personal exemptions, and dependant deductions, though they are different amounts than Mississippi's and may have different rules.
