About Missouri income tax
Missouri uses progressive tax brackets ranging from 2% up to 4.8%. Because the system is progressive, your first dollars are taxed at the lowest rate and only income above each threshold is taxed at the higher rates — so your effective rate is lower than the 4.8% top rate.
A low-income band is exempt. Kansas City and St. Louis add a 1% local earnings tax.
This page applies Missouri's published single-filer brackets to the income you enter. It doesn't include Missouri's own standard deduction, personal exemptions, or credits, which can lower your actual bill. For your full paycheck picture, combine this with federal tax using our Take-Home Pay Calculator.
