How Missouri taxes your paycheck

Missouri uses a graduated income tax with 7 brackets, rising to a top rate of 4.70% for single filers on taxable income above $9,436. The state allows a $16,100 standard deduction for single filers ($32,200 for married couples).

Local taxes: Kansas City and St. Louis levy a 1% earnings tax. Add your local rate under “Deductions, kids & local tax” in the calculator.

Missouri lets taxpayers deduct some or all federal income tax paid when figuring state tax. This calculator does not apply that deduction, so it may slightly overstate Missouri tax.
