Mississippi taxes and cost of living, explained

Mississippi charges a flat state income tax of 4.00% on wages, on top of federal tax and FICA. Combined with an average sales tax of 7.06% and an average effective property tax rate of 0.74%, these figures shape most household budgeting decisions in the state — from evaluating a job offer to estimating what home you can afford.

The six calculators below all use Mississippi's own current rates rather than national averages: paycheck withholding, state income tax, sales tax, property tax, a full mortgage (PITI) payment, and home affordability based on the standard 28/36 lending rule. Mississippi's minimum wage is $7.25/hour, and the data behind these numbers is sourced from the Tax Foundation, WalletHub, and state revenue departments.
