Missouri Paycheck Calculator (2026) — Salary After Tax

In Missouri, your take-home depends on federal income tax (10%–37%), FICA (7.65%), and Missouri state income tax (top rate 4.80%). For example, on a $75,000 salary, you'd take home roughly $58,765 per year or about $4,897 per month.

Missouri's top state income tax rate is 4.80%. Missouri has a flat state income tax rate of 4.8%. The rate applies progressively — lower income is taxed at lower rates, only the income above each bracket threshold is taxed at the higher rate.

Divide your annual salary by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks) to get gross hourly. For net hourly, subtract federal tax, FICA, and Missouri state income tax first, then divide by 2,080. A $75,000 salary in Missouri works out to roughly $28.25/hr net.

Some cities and counties in Missouri levy additional local income taxes on top of state tax. The calculator above covers state-level tax. Check with your local government or HR department to see if a local tax applies to your city.

FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act. It covers Social Security (6.2% on wages up to $168,600) and Medicare (1.45% on all wages). Every W-2 employee in every state — including Missouri — pays FICA. It totals 7.65% of your gross pay and is separate from income tax.

On a $50,000 salary in Missouri, federal tax is roughly $3,820, FICA is $3,825, and state tax is $1,627. That leaves you $40,728/year or about $19.58/hr net.

A $100,000 salary in Missouri nets roughly $75,153/year after federal tax ($13,170), FICA ($7,650), and Missouri state tax ($4,027). That works out to $36.13/hr net.

Choose "Single" if you file taxes alone. Choose "Married" if you file jointly with a spouse — this usually means lower taxes because brackets are wider. "Head of Household" applies if you're unmarried but supporting a dependent child or relative; it has wider brackets than Single. Most people use Single for job-offer comparisons since it's the baseline.

Missouri residents pay state income tax on top of federal taxes. States like Texas, Florida, Nevada, and Washington have no state income tax, meaning residents there take home more on the same salary. On a $75,000 income, the difference can be $2,827 or more per year. Use the state comparison tool to see the exact difference.

Bonuses are typically withheld at the federal supplemental rate (22% for amounts under $1M) plus your applicable Missouri state rate. Overtime pay is taxed as ordinary income — same brackets as regular wages. Neither gets special treatment in Missouri; both push you into higher brackets if they cross a threshold.
