Mississippi has a flat 4.00% income tax on taxable income above $10,000 ($10,000 for joint filers). Before the rates apply, Mississippi gives a standard deduction of $2,300 ($4,600 for married couples filing jointly) and a personal exemption of $6,000 per filer.
A single filer earning $75,000 in wages pays about $2,268 in Mississippi tax, 3.0% of pay. That is 35th of 51, in the bottom third, and $328 less than the typical state ($2,596). A married couple earning $150,000 pays about $4,936.
In Mississippi, about $75,912, or $6,326 a month, for a single filer with no pre-tax deductions. That is after $13,170 of federal income tax, $7,650 of Social Security and Medicare and $3,268 of Mississippi tax.
Mississippi uses one rate, 4.00%, for every taxable dollar above $10,000, so your top rate and your starting rate are the same.
Mississippi does not tax Social Security, and it leaves pensions and 401(k) or IRA withdrawals untaxed as well.
