Missouri Tax Calculator
Missouri taxes income through an unusually large number of narrow, closely spaced brackets, so your income moves through several small steps as it rises. Missouri also allows a deduction for federal income taxes paid, which can lower your effective state rate. Social Security is not taxed for most residents. This calculator applies Missouri's current bracket schedule to your entered income.
