General calculator →Frequently Asked Questions, Sales Tax Calculator in Mississippi
What is the Mississippi sales tax rate?↓
Mississippi has a 7% state sales tax, tied for the highest base state rate in the US. A few cities (notably Jackson, Tupelo, and some tourism districts) have enacted small local tourism taxes, but most of Mississippi has no local sales tax, keeping the effective rate at 7% uniformly. This makes calculations simple but means Mississippi has a higher baseline tax on everyday purchases than most states.
Does Mississippi tax groceries?↓
Yes. Mississippi is one of the few US states that taxes groceries at the full 7% sales tax rate. This has been a recurring topic of tax reform debate. A family spending $800 per month on groceries pays an extra $56 in Mississippi sales tax, compared to $0 in states that fully exempt groceries. Prescription drugs remain exempt, which helps offset some of the grocery tax burden for seniors and those with medical needs.
What is exempt from Mississippi sales tax?↓
Mississippi exempts prescription drugs, most medical equipment, and items purchased for resale. Unlike most states, Mississippi does not exempt groceries. Services are generally not subject to Mississippi sales tax, though specific services like contractors' work, repair services, and lodging are taxable. Manufacturing equipment and farm machinery receive specific exemptions. Mississippi holds an annual sales tax holiday in late July for clothing and school supplies under $100 per item.
