How we calculate Mississippi take-home pay
Mississippi's declining income tax trajectory is one of the most significant tax policy developments in the South. Workers who establish residency now will see their state tax burden decline each year without any action on their part. Mississippi also has one of the lowest costs of living in the country. Mississippi's combination of a declining income tax and very low cost of living makes it financially compelling, particularly for remote workers. Housing costs are dramatically lower than most US metros, and the overall affordability can more than offset lower average salaries in the local job market.

What this calculator doesn’t include
This calculator covers W2 employment income only. It does not account for: Many Mississippi cities and counties levy local income taxes on top of the state rate — check whether your city has one. It also excludes the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), the additional Medicare surtax (0.9% on wages above $200,000), investment or capital gains income, self-employment income, itemized deductions (the standard deduction is applied), or employer-provided benefits such as 401(k) matching and health insurance contributions. Results are estimates for financial planning purposes — consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
