2026 Tax Tables
Missouri uses a graduated income tax with a top rate of 4.7% for 2026. The state eliminated withholding allowances; instead, employers subtract a standard deduction based on filing status — $16,100 for single and married employees and $24,150 for heads of household — and then apply the bracket schedule. Kansas City and St. Louis levy a separate 1% local earnings tax that is not included here.
