Installment Loans in Mississippi

Editorial installment route. The current alternative-installment statutory maximum of $5,330 is above the PLS Cash Advance $5,000 site boundary.

Amount and term limits

For the Consumer Alternative Installment Loan Act route under §75-67-181(2), the Mississippi DBCF increased the maximum loan size to $5,330 effective July 1, 2026. The amount is indexed, so later annual guidance may change it.

Consumer Alternative Installment Loans are repaid through substantially equal consecutive monthly installments. No single maximum term is encoded here for every Mississippi small-loan structure in the current site range.

Interest, fees and repayment

PLS Cash Advance does not present 59% as a universal cap for every Mississippi installment loan because the statutory framework permits more than one pricing method.

Mississippi licensees may use different statutory small-loan pricing structures. Under the Consumer Alternative Installment Loan Act route, §75-67-181 permits an actuarial APR up to 59%; other covered small loans may use the separate Small Loan Regulatory Law structure.

The Consumer Alternative Installment Loan Act structure uses substantially equal and consecutive monthly installments; other small-loan structures follow their applicable statutory repayment rules.

Mississippi borrower protections

  • Small-loan companies are regulated by the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance.
  • The Consumer Alternative Installment Loan maximum is $5,330 effective July 1, 2026, subject to future index adjustments.
  • The alternative-installment route uses substantially equal consecutive monthly payments.
  • The page does not misstate the 59% alternative-installment ceiling as a universal price rule for every lawful Mississippi small loan.

Mississippi loan cost calculator

Why there is no single statutory calculator: Mississippi allows materially different small-loan charge structures and annually adjusts the alternative-installment maximum amount. A single calculator formula would be misleading.
