The formulas
- Sales tax = sale x (7% + local rate)
- Nexus when counted sales are more than $250,000 in any 12 consecutive months
- Counted sales = direct sales only
How it works
Figures current as of November 2026.
The general rate is 7 percent. The tool multiplies the sale amount by the statewide base rate plus the local rate you enter (local tourism or city tax for the delivery address) and shows the state and local parts separately. The local rate depends on where the goods are delivered.
A seller with no physical presence in Mississippi must register and collect once it has more than $250,000 of sales into Mississippi in any 12 consecutive months. Sales made through a marketplace facilitator do not count toward your own Mississippi threshold; only your direct sales count.
A seller with a physical presence in Mississippi, such as staff, an office or inventory, must collect regardless of the threshold. The tool does not decide whether a product is taxable or exempt; enter the taxable price.
