Both Missouri's tax brackets and the associated tax rates were last changed one year ago in 2022.
Missouri has eight marginal tax brackets, ranging from 2% (the lowest Missouri tax bracket) to 5% (the highest Missouri tax bracket). Each marginal rate only applies to earnings within the applicable marginal tax bracket .
In Missouri, different tax brackets are applicable to different filing types. Married couples filing their Missouri income tax return jointly will usually have wider tax brackets than those filing separately or as an individual.
How do Missouri tax brackets work?
Technically, you don't have just one "tax bracket" - you pay all of the Missouri marginal tax rates from the lowest tax bracket to the tax bracket in which you earned your last dollar. For comparison purposes, however, your Missouri tax bracket is the tax bracket in which your last earned dollar in any given tax period falls.
You can think of the bracketed income tax as a flat amount for all of the money you earned up to your highest tax bracket, plus a marginal percentage of any amount you earned over that. The chart below breaks down the Missouri tax brackets using this model:
| For earnings between $1,121.00 and $2,242.00, you'll pay 2% |
| For earnings between $2,242.00 and $3,363.00, you'll pay 2.5% plus $22.42 |
| For earnings between $3,363.00 and $4,484.00, you'll pay 3% plus $50.45 |
| For earnings between $4,484.00 and $5,605.00, you'll pay 3.5% plus $84.08 |
| For earnings between $5,605.00 and $6,726.00, you'll pay 4% plus $123.31 |
| For earnings between $6,726.00 and $7,847.00, you'll pay 4.5% plus $168.15 |
| For earnings between $7,847.00 and $7,616.00, you'll pay 4.95% plus $218.60 |

You can use the income tax estimator to the left to calculate your approximate Missouri and Federal income tax based on the most recent tax brackets.
Keep in mind that this estimator assumes all income is from wages, assumes the standard deduction, and does not account for tax credits.

Missouri Tax Deductions
When calculating your Missouri income tax, keep in mind that the Missouri state income tax brackets are only applied to your adjusted gross income (AGI) after you have made any qualifying deductions.
Qualifying deductions might include an itemized deduction, the Missouri standard deduction, exemptions for dependants, business expenses, etc.
Remember that Missouri may have very different deduction laws from the Federal Income Tax, so you may have to write a whole new list of deductions for your Missouri income tax return.

In addition to marginal tax brackets, one of the major features of the Missouri income tax is deductions. The three most common deductions encountered by taxpayers are the Missouri Standard Deduction, the Missouri Personal Exemption, and the Missouri Dependent Deduction. The current values of these deductions for tax year 2023 are as follows:
| Standard Deduction (Single) | Standard Deduction (MFJ) | Personal Exemption | Dependant Exemption |
|---|---|---|---|
| $13,850.00 | $27,700.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
The standard deduction, which Missouri has, is a deduction that is available by default to all taxpayers who do not instead choose to file an itemized deduction. Essentially, it translates to $13,850.00 per year of tax-free income for single Missouri taxpayers, and $27,700.00 for those filing jointly.
The Personal Exemption, which is not supported by the Missouri income tax, is an additional deduction you can take if you (and not someone else) are primarily responsible for your own living expenses. Likewise, you can take an additional dependent exemption for each qualifying dependent (like a child or family member), who you financially support.
The Federal income tax also has a standard deduction, personal exemptions, and dependant deductions, though they are different amounts than Missouri's and may have different rules.
