Mississippi Asset Protection Calculator
See what a nursing home stay could put at risk — through spend-down or Medicaid estate recovery — before it becomes a crisis. Takes about 2 minutes.
Are you married?
Mississippi Medicaid has special asset and income protections for a spouse who stays at home, so this changes your numbers significantly.
Please select one to continue.
What do you (and your spouse, if married) own?
Rough figures are fine — no account numbers needed. Leave any field blank or at $0 if it doesn't apply.
What's the total monthly household income?
Include Social Security, pensions, retirement distributions, and any other regular monthly income for both spouses if married.

This calculator provides a general, educational estimate based on the 2026 Mississippi Division of Medicaid figures and federal Medicaid spousal impoverishment standards. It is not legal advice, does not consider your full financial and family circumstances, and does not create an attorney-client relationship with Perkins Law Group. Actual Medicaid eligibility and estate recovery outcomes depend on facts a licensed elder law attorney needs to review directly.
