Paycheck Calculator FAQ

What is the Missouri state income tax rate?

A short graduated ladder topping out at 4.8%, down from 5.4% a few years ago with more legislated cuts pending. Because the top bracket starts at roughly $9,000 of taxable income and the first ~$1,300 is exempt, virtually all trade pay faces the 4.8% marginal rate, making Missouri effectively a flat-tax state.

Who pays the Kansas City and St. Louis earnings tax?

Residents of either city on all wages, wherever earned, and non-residents on wages earned inside the city limits. Both taxes are a flat 1%, withheld by employers, and both are periodically reauthorized by city voters. A suburban tradesperson working downtown pays it; one on a suburban site does not.

Is Missouri's income tax still going down?

Yes. A series of triggered cuts has moved the top rate from 5.4% to 4.8%, and enacted legislation schedules further reductions, with lawmakers debating full elimination of the tax on wages. Each tenth of a point is worth about $65 a year on a $65,000 salary.

How much of my salary do I keep in Missouri?

Typically 71-80% for salaries between $40,000 and $120,000 (single filer, standard federal deduction) after federal tax, Missouri state tax and FICA, minus 1% if the Kansas City or St. Louis earnings tax applies to you. A $65,000 salary nets about $51,000 before city tax. Enter your exact numbers for a precise breakdown.

Missouri Take-Home

Take-home pay in Missouri: what makes it different

A Missouri paycheck loses federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%) and Missouri state income tax, a short graduated ladder whose 4.8% top rate is reached by about $9,000 of taxable income, so trade pay is effectively flat-taxed. Kansas City and St. Louis each withhold an additional 1% earnings tax from anyone living or working in the city. A single filer earning $65,000 takes home about $51,000 a year (78%) before city tax. Enter any gross salary for the exact breakdown.

Is Missouri competitive for trade take-home in the Midwest?

Yes, and improving. The effective 4.8% sits just below Illinois' 4.95% with lower living costs, and the phase-down keeps widening that edge. The 1% metro earnings taxes are the main caveat, a downtown St. Louis crane operator pays it, a St. Charles County one does not.

How does Missouri take-home compare across the Kansas line?

Closely, with a wrinkle: Kansas' graduated rates reach 5.7%, above Missouri's 4.8%, but Kansas City straddles both states, so trades compare a Missouri-side address plus 1% earnings tax against a Kansas-side address at higher state rates. At $65,000 the difference typically lands under $400 a year either way.

What deductions come out of a Missouri paycheck?

Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% to $176,100), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% over $200,000), Missouri state tax at an effective ~4.8%, the 1% earnings tax if you live or work in Kansas City or St. Louis, and voluntary pre-tax items, 401(k), health premiums, HSA/FSA and union dues.
