Does this estimate change if I'm married or have dependents?
This calculator uses single-filer figures only (v1 scope). Married filing jointly typically uses different federal and Missouri state brackets and a larger standard deduction — your actual take-home pay will differ. Dependents can also reduce federal withholding via the W-4. Check Missouri Department of Revenue's married-filing-jointly tables for a precise figure.
Does this calculator include Missouri local or city income tax?
Kansas City and St. Louis each levy a 1% local earnings tax on residents (and on nonresidents working there), not computed here.
Methodology & Source
Missouri state tax figures sourced from Missouri Department of Revenue (https://dor.mo.gov/), citing Mo. Rev. Stat. § 143.011. Federal brackets, standard deductions (single/MFJ/HoH), and FICA constants sourced from the IRS (Revenue Procedure 2025-32; married-filing-jointly Additional Medicare threshold of $250,000 is a separate, unindexed statutory figure). Missouri's married-filing-jointly and head-of-household figures are not yet independently verified and currently fall back to single-filer brackets — see the caveat in the formula section above.
Local tax figures sourced from Kansas City & St. Louis earnings tax administration. Both cities' 1% earnings tax rate has been stable for decades — cross-checked against two independent secondary sources 2026-07-29 (askdoss.com, countrytaxcalc.com) after both cities' own .gov earnings-tax pages returned a 403/DNS error in this environment. Simplification: this calculator treats the 'non-resident working here' option as if the full salary were city-sourced, same simplifying assumption as the Philadelphia non-resident option elsewhere on this site — in reality only city-sourced wages are taxed for non-residents.
This is an estimate based on standard single-filer federal, FICA, and MO state calculations. Actual withholding may differ based on your W-4 elections, pre-tax deductions, and other factors.
