How Missouri taxes your paycheck

Missouri taxes income in brackets, like the federal government: each layer of taxable income is taxed at its own rate, from 2% to 4.7% for 2026. The first $1,348 of taxable income isn't taxed.

All filers

Taxable income	Rate
$1,348 to $2,696	2%
$2,696 to $4,044	2.5%
$4,044 to $5,392	3%
$5,392 to $6,740	3.5%
$6,740 to $8,088	4%
$8,088 to $9,436	4.5%
Over $9,436	4.7%

Before the rate applies, Missouri allows a standard deduction of $16,100 ($32,200 for married couples).

Every paycheck also has federal income tax (based on your Form W-4), Social Security (6.2%, up to $184,500 of wages in 2026) and Medicare (1.45%).

Local income tax

Kansas City and St. Louis charge an earnings tax on residents and on people who work in the city.

An estimate for planning, not tax advice. Federal withholding follows the IRS's 2026 percentage method (Publication 15-T) for a 2026 Form W-4; state figures use each state's 2026 income tax rates, deductions and exemptions, which employers' payroll formulas follow closely but not always exactly.
