Missouri uses a graduated income tax with brackets that climb quickly through small income ranges to a top rate of 4.7%. This Missouri paycheck calculator combines federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and Missouri state income tax to show your real 2026 take-home pay.

How Missouri state income tax works

Missouri exempts the first $1,348 of taxable income and then steps through 2% to $2,696, 2.5% to $4,044, 3% to $5,392, 3.5% to $6,740, 4% to $8,088, 4.5% to $9,436, and 4.7% on income above $9,436. Because the top bracket starts at such a low income level, most workers pay close to 4.7% on the vast majority of their wages.

Missouri's standard deduction matches the federal amount of $16,100 single / $32,200 joint, which the calculator subtracts before applying brackets. Kansas City and St. Louis residents also pay a 1% local earnings tax not included here.
