Mississippi State Income Tax Guide (2026)
Mississippi has transitioned to a flat 4.7% income tax after phasing down from a graduated-rate system over several years.
1. Mississippi Flat Tax Rate
Mississippi applies a single flat income tax rate of 4.7% to taxable income. Unlike progressive states, the same rate applies whether you are an entry-level worker or a high earner, which makes the calculation straightforward.
2. Deductions and Conformance
For 2026, the Mississippi standard deduction is $2,600 for single filers and $5,200 for married couples filing jointly. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions, and employer health premiums reduce your Mississippi taxable income.
3. Local Taxes to Watch
Mississippi eliminated its lower brackets; the full 4.7% flat rate applies to taxable income above a $10,000 exemption.
