Take-home pay in Missouri, 2026
Missouri taxes wage income. On $60,000 a year, what you keep is what is left after federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and what Missouri withholds — and BEFORE local income tax.
Does not include the 1% city earnings tax that Kansas City and the City of St. Louis each charge on residents wherever they work and on non-residents for work done in the city: that is about $600 on a $60,000 salary for a resident or someone who works in the city full time, and a non-resident who works there part of the time pays on that share only.
What you take home in Missouri
Single filer, no dependents and no pre-tax deductions, on the 2026 rules. Your own figure depends on your filing status and your Form W-4 — put your salary into the calculator.
One figure in this state's withholding computation rests on a single official document rather than two. We look again by 26 January 2027.

How Missouri is worked out
Missouri’s figure above is what an employer withholds under the state’s own published method — not the tax you finally owe, which your return settles. The federal part is the 2026 rate schedules and the standard deduction; Social Security and Medicare are charged on the whole wage, with Social Security stopping at its wage base.
Every rate and threshold behind these figures, with its source, is on the methodology page, and the worked test cases are published in full.
