How Missouri paycheck tax works
Missouri has a graduated income tax for 2026 with a top rate of 4.7% (the first roughly $1,300 of taxable income is taxed at 0%). Withholding subtracts a standard deduction matching the federal amount by filing status ($16,100 single / $32,200 married with a non-earning spouse / $24,150 head of household). Missouri withholds supplemental wages such as bonuses at a flat 4.7%.
Local tax can apply on top of the state's share. Kansas City and St. Louis each levy a 1% local earnings tax on wages earned in the city, withheld in addition to Missouri state tax.
The calculator annualizes your pay, then runs Missouri's 2026 graduated withholding alongside federal income tax and FICA. It's a close estimate rather than an exact match: your actual paycheck can differ from your employer's payroll, which may use exact per-period tables. Local city, county, or school-district taxes aren't included in this figure.
