Missouri withholding: 8 brackets up to 4.7%
Missouri takes a graduated bite for a single filer: nothing on the first $1,348 of taxable wages, rising to 4.7% on wages over $9,436. The $16,100 standard deduction comes off first ($32,200 for joint filers).
The calculator withholds from Missouri's 2026 rate schedule. At the default $75,000 salary, each extra $1,000 of pay adds $44.18 of Missouri tax a year.
Kansas City and St. Louis levy a 1% earnings tax that is not included here.
