About Missouri paychecks & taxes
Missouri's bracket table technically climbs from 0% to 4.7%, but the top rate arrives at just $9,436 of taxable income — so for any full-time salary, Missouri behaves like a 4.7% flat tax with a big federal-matching standard deduction in front.
The exceptions are the big cities: St. Louis and Kansas City each levy a 1% earnings tax on people who live or work there, which this calculator doesn't include. Elsewhere in the state, what you see here is the full picture.
