How Mississippi taxes wages
Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. Mississippi taxes wages above $10,000 at 4%. This estimate applies that floor to gross wages and does not also subtract a standard deduction, so it will not match a stub that uses both. Check the Department of Revenue withholding guide if the state line is off. Source: Mississippi Department of Revenue.
What is not in the state income tax number
The state line here is income tax only. Federal income tax follows IRS Publication 15-T, and Social Security and Medicare are the same in every state. Mississippi has no employee local wage tax in this calculator.
