What sets Missouri apart in 2026
Missouri lets you subtract part of your federal income tax before working out the state tax, and the share shrinks as income grows: 35% of it up to $25,000, 25% up to $50,000, 15% up to $100,000, 5% up to $125,000 and nothing above, capped at $5,000 ($10,000 joint). That subtraction is applied in these figures.
Because the share falls in steps rather than gradually, the state tax on the next dollar jumps sharply right at $50,000 and again at $100,000. Payroll withholding ignores the subtraction altogether, so most Missouri workers get a little back when they file. Past the subtraction, the federal standard deduction of $16,100 applies and the brackets reach the 4.7% top rate above $9,436 of taxable income, so at $150,000 the next dollar is simply taxed at 4.7%. The state takes $1,368 at $50,000 and $6,113 at $150,000, ranking 11th and 14th of 29 states.
Local tax matters in exactly two places, but they are the two biggest cities. Kansas City and St. Louis each charge a 1% earnings tax on residents and on non-residents for work done in the city, levied on gross pay: $800 a year on $80,000. It is not included above.
