How Missouri paychecks are taxed in 2026
Missouri taxes income on a graduated state schedule for 2026, applied after the state deduction for your filing status. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your Missouri take-home pay.
Missouri uses a graduated income tax with 8 brackets for 2026, with marginal rates ranging from 0% to a top rate of 4.7% (which applies to single-filer taxable income above $9,436). For 2026, Missouri's state standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married couples filing jointly. As a worked example, a single filer earning $60,000 pays about $1,883 in Missouri income tax (roughly 3.1% of gross) before federal tax and FICA.
Adjust your filing status, pay frequency, and gross wage above to update the breakdown.
What this estimate doesn't include: State tax only. Missouri cities of Kansas City and St. Louis levy a separate 1% local earnings tax on wages, which is not included in this estimate. Missouri's standard deduction conforms to the federal standard deduction; the additional standard deduction for taxpayers age 65+ or blind, personal/dependent exemptions, and Missouri credits are not modeled. For 2026 Missouri eliminated the deduction for a portion of federal income tax paid, so it is not modeled (and would not apply for 2026 in any case).
Estimates for general guidance only — not tax advice. This calculator approximates withholding using 2026 federal brackets, the standard deduction, and FICA. Simple mode covers wages, filing status and state tax; switch to Advanced to factor in pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA/FSA, health premiums), dependent/W-4 credits, extra withholding and post-tax deductions. It still does not model local (city/county) taxes or itemized deductions. Verify with a tax professional or the IRS.
