2026 Missouri paycheck guide

What this statewide profile models

State wage-tax treatment

The profile applies 8 configured statewide rate bands after modeled adjustments. It does not infer local taxes or unsupported credits.

Employee payroll items

No employee payroll assessment is configured in this statewide profile. That is a model statement, not a claim that every employer or locality has no additional deduction.

401(k) treatment

Configured pretax 401(k) contributions reduce Missouri taxable wages in this model, subject to the calculator limit and profile boundaries.

Planning focus

Keep Missouri's statewide calculation separate from local earnings taxes called out in the unsupported-feature list.

Profile boundaries

These limits stay visible so a statewide estimate is not mistaken for a filed return or an address-specific withholding calculation.

  • Missouri state income tax is modeled as an annual-liability estimate, not employer withholding.
  • Kansas City and St. Louis earnings taxes (1% each) and the federal-income-tax deduction are excluded.
  • Missouri's 100% subtraction for individual capital gains, effective 2025, is outside this wage-only estimate.
