Missouri's income tax is graduated: 8 brackets running from 0% to 4.7%, the 26th-highest top rate of the 51 jurisdictions. The top rate applies to a single filer's taxable income above $9,191. A single filer's first $1,313 of taxable income is taxed at 0% — on top of whatever the state lets you deduct first. Because that top bracket starts so low, Missouri behaves like a flat 4.7% tax for most full-time earners — the graduated part only shapes the first few thousand dollars. Married couples filing jointly are taxed on exactly the same bracket widths as a single filer, so a two-earner couple hits the top rate at the same income one person would — the schedule itself carries a marriage penalty. A single filer subtracts a $15,750 standard deduction before the rates are applied.
Missouri 2025 tax brackets

Assumptions
- Ordinary-income rate schedules only; no credits, AMT, capital-gains rates, QBI deduction or the 2025–2028 senior deduction.
- Standard deduction (plus additional amounts for 65+/blind) or your itemized figure, whichever is larger; no dependent-filer limitation.
- Married filing separately uses half the joint federal thresholds, per the IRS schedule, and the state's single-filer schedule.
- State tax uses each state's published rate schedule, standard deduction and personal exemption for the tax year shown with the results; the source URL and year for the state you pick are printed above the results, along with the simplifications made for that state.
- State figures exclude county, municipal and city income taxes, itemized deductions, retirement and capital-gains exclusions, and credits that phase out. Unlisted states fall back to the flat rate you enter.

How the neighbours compare
Missouri borders 8 other jurisdictions. Moving across a state line is the one way most people can actually change which of these schedules applies to them, so here is the same income run through each of them.
| State | Rate structure | $50,000 | $75,000 | $150,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Missouri | 0% – 4.7% | $1,434 | $2,609 | $6,134 |

State income tax on a single filer, after each state’s own deductions. Federal tax is identical wherever you live, so the difference between these rows is the whole difference.
What these Missouri figures leave out
Recorded against Missouri in the data rather than glossed over, because they change real bills.
- Missouri had not published a 2026 tax chart when this was compiled, so the 2025 chart is used. Its brackets are indexed each year but are small enough that the difference is a few dollars.
- Missouri uses one chart for every filing status, and computes tax separately for each spouse on a joint return — this model applies it once to the combined figure, which can overstate a two-earner couple's tax slightly.
- Missouri's standard deduction equals the federal one. The standard deduction is the federal amount this state adopts: $15,750 single, $31,500 married filing jointly, $23,625 head of household for 2025 (IRS Rev. Proc. 2024-40, as amended by Rev. Proc. 2025-32 §3.01).
- Missouri allows a limited deduction for federal income tax paid, which is not modelled.
- Local income taxes are not included. Kansas City and St. Louis each levy a 1% earnings tax.
