Mississippi Window Tint Checker (2026)
The legal tint limit for every window position in Mississippi (28% on the front sides), checked against your own film's VLT, with the medical exemption and what a ticket costs.
Mississippi window tint checker
VLT (visible light transmission) is the share of light the film lets through; a lower number is darker. It is printed on the film packaging or your installation receipt. Leave it blank to just read the limits.
Enter your film's VLT above to check it against each Mississippi window limit, or read the limits as they stand.
The 28% floor applies to every certified window. On pickups, vans, motor homes, RVs, SUVs, and multipurpose vehicles, any window behind the front two side windows may instead meet the federal light-transmittance minimum for that window (§63-7-59).
Film is sold by its own VLT, but police measure the installed darkness: the film combined with your factory glass, which reads darker than the film alone. These are the Mississippi figures stated as information, not a determination about any stop or ticket.
Informational only, not legal advice. Reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. See the full rules, the exemption steps, and the citations on the Mississippi window tint reference, cited to Miss. Code Ann. §63-7-59.
How the Mississippi tint rules work
Mississippi runs its tint law through a windshield label: a certified inspection station tests the glass and affixes a sticker to the lower left corner confirming that every certified window lets in at least 28% of light. The windshield itself gets only a manufacturer-style sun shield across the top. Trucks, vans, and SUVs get a break behind the front side windows, where the federal minimum for that glass applies instead.
This checker applies the Mississippi figures to the VLT you enter. It is informational only and not legal advice: reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. For the full rules, the shades table, and the citations, see the Mississippi window tint reference, cited to Miss. Code Ann. §63-7-59.
