At roughly 4.70%, Mississippi has the 26th lowest income tax rate of 51 states. The next-lowest is Utah at 4.65%, and just above it is Maryland at 4.75%. On a $75,000 salary, Mississippi's income tax costs you about $3,525 a year compared with a state that levies none.
Your effective total tax rate on $75,000 — federal, state, and FICA combined — works out to about 23.0%. Contributing to a 401(k) lowers your federal and state taxable income but not FICA, so raising the contribution percentage in the calculator above shows the real trade-off between take-home pay today and retirement savings.
