How it works

Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets and standard deduction for your filing status. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to the annual wage base and Medicare 1.45% of all wages (plus 0.9% above $200,000 single). Missouri's tax is figured on your income after a $16,100 standard deduction (single-filer figures). Some Missouri cities and counties levy their own income tax — about 0.18% of income on average where it applies — which isn't included here.
